CIs it to remind me of the Eevil things I've done?
AmWhy am I still followed by your Fghost memory
And Cwhy do I still Ghope you think of Cme?

[Intro]

(Palm Muted )

[Verse]

You met me in my dreams last night

Same dark eyes, familiar sight

F C G

Broken words I've dreamt a hundred times

But you were strange and staggered too

Like what you said had scripted through

F C G

I guess this means I'm getting over you

[Pre-Chorus]

Why do I still dream of you?

Why do you still come?

C E

Is it to remind me of the evil things I've done?

Am F

Why am I still followed by your ghost memory

C G C

And why do I still hope you think of me?

[Chorus]

Every night inside my bed

You creep into my head

I am just A B-B-B-broken

Broken record

Every night inside my dream

I replay the same old thing

I am just A B-B-B-broken

Broken record

[Post-Verse]

(Palm Mute )

[Verse]

The strangest part I'd have to say

Is I don't want him anyway

F C G

Maybe I just want what I can't have

Maybe it's the tragedy

Or maybe it's the girl in me

F C G

Who just wants to be wanted by a man

[Pre-Chorus]

Am F

Or maybe I just think of him when I am on my own

C E

'Cause maybe make believe is not as lonely as alone

Am F

Silence brings the truth, but it breaks the fantasy

C G C

The only one I'm talking to is me

[Pre-Chorus]

Why do I still dream of you?

Why do you still come?

C E

Is it to remind me of the evil things I've done?

Am F

Why am I still followed by your ghost memory

C G C

And why do I still hope you think of me?

[Chorus]

Every night inside my bed

You creep into my head

I am just A B-B-B-broken

Broken record

Every night inside my dream

I replay the same old thing

I am just A B-B-B-broken

Broken record

[Post-verse]

(Palm Mute )

[Bridge]

(No guitar in this part, but the chords are there if you're restless)

To broken past and breathing dirt

To cling to not escaping hurt

F Dm

Is inner joy's repeating struggles

E E7

Maybe trapped or mostly troubled

[Instrumental]

Am F C E7

Am F C E7

[Chorus]

Every night inside my bed

You creep into my head

I am just A B-B-B-broken

Broken record

Every night inside my dream

(Every night inside my dream)

I replay the same old thing

(Same old thing)

I am just A B-B-B-broken

Broken record
