No capo
CI try to know when to leave
GShe sits in the bedroom and grieves
AmThere's a sequence that starts all again
She can't get Fup anymore with the pain
CThe combination of these drugs
GHas left her hopeless and lost
AmShe wants to count the ways
But she Fcan't count again
[Chorus:]
CI will be right Ghere
Am'Til all the pain
FJust disappear
CI will always sGtay
Am'Til all this light
FJust kills the day
CI strangle my words
Once, GI tried a thousand times
AmSlaughtered like Gods
When the Fsilver shines so hard
CI tried to poison my life
GAlways dreaming of the edge of the knife
AmShe always looked backwards
And I can sit here for Feven ten minutes or more
[Chorus]
COh hold on
GOh hold on
AmOh hold on
Just try Fagain
[Chorus]
COh hold on
GOh hold on
AmOh hold on
Just try Fagain

No capo

I try to know when to leave

She sits in the bedroom and grieves

There's a sequence that starts all again

She can't get up anymore with the pain

The combination of these drugs

Has left her hopeless and lost

She wants to count the ways

But she can't count again

[Chorus:]

C G

I will be right here

'Til all the pain

Just disappear

C G

I will always stay

'Til all this light

Just kills the day

I strangle my words

Once, I tried a thousand times

Slaughtered like Gods

When the silver shines so hard

I tried to poison my life

Always dreaming of the edge of the knife

She always looked backwards

And I can sit here for even ten minutes or more

[Chorus]

Oh hold on

Just try again

[Chorus]

Oh hold on

Just try again
