Intro: x4, (hold)

Verse 1:

I've seen you bite your

nails in guilty thought

Thought you couldn't care

You would've run out of

Dm F

And I believe in futures

A Dm

but I can't afford to wait

You've been doing

A Dm F Gm Am

it the wrong way

Dm F

And some day you'll find

something that

A Dm

makes you feel okay

But until then you'll

A Dm F Gm Am Gm Bb A

(hold)

make your own way

Verse 2:

Dm Bb

You're the type of girl who

Gm A

puts on cyanide perfume

Then asks for kisses on the

neck from every boy in the room

Dm Bb

So tell me now how you find

yourself at the bottom

of a bottle in a bar

Dm Bb

And how your reflection

Gm A

reacts to you and your new scars

I don't think you're on

And make it so tomorrow starts today
