Intro:
E B F# G#m
Verse 1:
E B F# G#m E B
Day breaks, another nightmare calling out your name
F# G#m E B
Pull your hair back, brush it from your face
F# G#m E B
Scream whatever you have left to say
F# G#m
I made this bed, in it I will lay
Pre-Chorus:
B E G#m
It might work out for the best, I guess
B E G#m
But you don't care
Chorus:
E G#m F# B
I can't afford to lose you and I'm acting like I can
E G#m F# B
In the slightest moment, holding someone else's hand
E G#m F# B
It's in the way you throw your hands up
E G#m F# B
Forget my name and the things that I've done
Verse 2:
E B F# G#m E B
So this it, a bunch of shit to say and things to fix
F# G#m E B
Of everything you hate and wouldn't miss
F# G#m E B
It takes time, it's a workaround of terrible designs
F# B
And things that you can't stand behind
Pre-Chorus:
B E G#m
It might work out for the best, I guess
Chorus:
E G#m F# B
I can't afford to lose you and I'm acting like I can
E G#m F# B
Someone else is choosing, holding someone else's hand
E G#m F# B
It's in the way you throw your hands up
E G#m F# B
I won't escape the things that I've done
Bridge:
N.C
And I guess you were right
You promised me nothing, and that makes it my fault that it's done
Oh, and it picks me apart, it folds me without warning
And it's over and I can't afford it
Chorus:
E G#m F# B
I can't afford to lose you and I'm acting like I can
E G#m F# B
Someone else is choosing, holding someone else's hand
E G#m F# B
It's in the way you throw your hands up
E G#m F# B
I won't escape the things that I've done
E G#m F# B
I can't afford to lose you
E G#m F# B E
I can't afford to lose you
