[Verse]
C D Am C D Am
I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel
C D Am C D Am7
I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real
C D Am7 C D Am7
The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting
C D Am7 C D G
Try to kill it all away, but I remember everything
[Chorus]
Am7 Fadd9 C* G
What Have I become, my sweetest friend
Am7 Fadd9 C* G
Everyone I know, goes away in the end
Am7 Fadd9 G
And you could have it all, my empire of dirt
Am7 Fadd9 G | Am | C D | Am | C D | Am |
I will let you down, I will make you hurt
[Verse]
C D Am C D Am
I wear this crown of thorns, upon my liar's chair
C D Am C D Am
Full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair
C D Am C D Am
Beneath the stains of time, the feeling disappears
C D Am C D G
You are someone else, I am still right here
[Chorus]
Am7 Fadd9 C* G
What Have I become, my sweetest friend
Am7 Fadd9 C* G
Everyone I know, goes away in the end
Am7 Fadd9 G
And you could have it all, my empire of dirt
Am7 Fadd9 G
I will let you down, I will make you hurt
[Coda]
Am7 Fadd9 G
If I could start again, a million miles away
Am7 Fadd9 G
I would keep myself, I would find a way
