🎸 Intro:

F#m A#m G#  x2

then
F#


🎸 Verse 1:
  C#
I swear this isn't
what it looks like
This is not the
                D#m
end we’ll meet again

just when the time is right
F#
I fell short upon my insight
Direction so different but
      G#
we're both cut from the same
      A#m          G#
knife I admit I’ve fallen behind
    Fm                F#
The only thing that’s clear
              A#m
in this frail mind Is that her
G#                 Fm        F#
pocket is where my demons lie


🎸 Chorus 1:
She controls the
F#
nightmares in my head
          G#
She's the monster
by my window ledge
 A#m                 C#
Awakening the dead Inform
me what my loved ones said
      F#
She's here to remind me of
the heights I fell from
       G#
She’ll give me the sign
and I'll be there with
           A#m
bells on I just need some
time so I can clean up my
               C#
act I've got a pocket
full of regrets and I
G#/C
thank you for that


🎸 Verse 2:
 A#m
Still can’t look
  C#
myself in the mirror
      A#m
Still kick myself for
G#
thinking we were
better off alone
  A#m            C#
Didn't return my calls
what’s the matter?
A#m
   You washed your hands
   G#       F#
of me and I get it


🎸 Verse 3:
     G#
I'll wait on my own

until she decides
         F#
Should I rot or compose
or leave me to die?
      G#
Wrote down all
the times I burned
Won’t forget that
F#
   you washed your hands
of me and I get it


🎸 Chorus 1:
F#
Nightmares in my head
          G#
She's the monster
by my window ledge
 A#m                 C#
Awakening the dead Inform
me what my loved ones said
      F#
She's here to remind me of
the heights I fell from
       G#
She’ll give me the sign
and I'll be there with
           A#m
bells on I just need some
time so I can clean up my
               C#
act I've got a pocket
full of regrets and I
G#/C
thank you for that
