 F#-  D-  B-  B- A  
Verse 1
               F#                 D  A-B  
Waking up to the image I can't erase
I'm seeing ghosts of the feelings I once chased
               F#                 D  A-B  
Shaken up by the answers you'd present
At the most, I believed in you, to some extent
               F#                 D  A-B  
'Cause I feel that I can't go on
I trusted you to some extent
               F#                 D  A-B  
With this void inside bleeding on
Shared love with you, I regret
 F#-  D-  B- D// E-  B- B//A  
Salt jaded and empty
 F#-  D-  B-  B- A

               F#                 D  A-B  
All I've known was living life a bit more
Meaningful than the days before
               F#                 D  A-B  
That night you said you felt like shit
When you looked at me, I must admit
               F#                 D  A-B  
Nobody's ever said the things you said to me
I trusted you to some extent
               F#                 D  A-B  
Now I'll never give away the best of me
Shared love with you, I regret

Swerved round the lane hours
AFatigued with the tBhoughts in my mind

And the long drive home,
