Try to kill it all away, but I remember everything

What Have I become, my sweetest friend

Em C G D

Everyone I know, goes away in the end

Em C G D

And you could have it all, my empire of dirt

For the bit between the verses here I like to hit the last few

strings of Am,(ebg)then slowly move up your strumming so your

times,I go for two go back down and hit ebg once.Then straight

You are someone else, I am still right here
