Intro:
Am*
Verse 1:
A minorAm Fsus2Fsus2
Naked and retched and retching on a hotel bathroom floor
Gsus2Gsus2
Somewhere in the city
A minorAm Fsus2Fsus2
Three days not sleeping, not eating, not feeling good anymore
Gsus2Gsus2 DmDm
Drenched in sweat and self-pity now
DmDm Fsus2Fsus2
It's not a pretty sight
Chorus:
Gsus2Gsus2 Am* Fsus2Fsus2
What to say in my defense?
Gsus2Gsus2 Am*
I was imperfect, tense
Fsus2Fsus2 Gsus2Gsus2 C majorC C/BC/B Fsus2Fsus2 FF
Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went
G+G Am*
So won't you be my present sense?
Verse 2:
A minorAm Fsus2Fsus2
Breaking, I'm shaking, it's taking a long long time
Gsus2Gsus2
To come down off this murderous medication
A minorAm Fsus2Fsus2 Gsus2Gsus2 DmDm
Trying to remember my reasons for running myself into the ground with such dedication
Chorus:
Fsus2Fsus2 Gsus2Gsus2 Am* Fsus2Fsus2
What to say in my defense?
Gsus2Gsus2 Am*
I was imperfect, tense
Fsus2Fsus2 Gsus2Gsus2 C majorC C/BC/B Fsus2Fsus2 FF
Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went
G+G Bb majorBb A minorAm G#G# G7G7
So won't you be my present sense?
Bridge:
DmDm C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm G+G
It's not meant to be
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm G+G FF
I am lost at sea
DmDm C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm G+G
So mermaids sing to me
C majorC
Of the better times and the things that can be
FF
And of islands in the Mediterranean sea
C majorC
And of eating and sleeping and times when I should
FF
And of washing the drink and the drugs from my blood
DmDm G+G
And I've nothing to say in my defense
DmDm G+G
I'm far from perfect and I'm still tense
DmDm G+G
They say that love can change you once
DmDm G+G
Please, say that love can change me once
Fsus2Fsus2
Come on change me
