[Intro]
G Bm D Em
G Bm D Em
[Chorus]
GHere I come, cBmome to you
DIn the veEmry clothes Gthat I killed,Bm  
Killed you iDn, now I kEmnow I'm alone
GI walk Bmto you, Drain falls Emfrom you
GCan yoBmu wash me, Dcan you Emdrown me?
[Verse 1]
GI wanna be a lot of things, so much pent up inside of me
BmI want to be stronger too long I've sat here undecidedly  
DPlanning strategy, half of me knows it's all just a fallacy
EmFailing miserably, drastically and then I crash dramatically
GInto a wall, I've hit a hundred times before
BmYet I still ignore the dark red bloodstains on the floor
DNow I'm back in front of you, Lord, with blood on the floor
EmIs the blood mine or yours? Don't wanna DO this anymore
GBack and forth between being me and who you're callin' me to be
BmYou see a man free who thinks he has to buy a key 
DTo a door but he can't,'cause he's poor and he can't
EmFall down anymore 'cause he's already on the floor
Gand his heart is broken and all and this is his call
BmBut it's more of a cry 'cause he will try nine times
DTo realize nine crimes but he has more than nine lives
EmSo he picks himself up and keeps climbing for the prize again
D
[Chorus]
GHere I come, aBmgain to you
DJust to sEmhow the blood soaked through
GThrough my bones, Bmand all I own
DIs there a wEmay for me to grow?
GI walk Bmto you, Drain falls Emfrom you
GCan yoBmu wash me, Dcan you Emdrown me?
. . . Please?
[Verse 2]
GEvery time I feel selfish ambition is takin' my vision
BmMy crime is my sentence repentance is takin' commission
DIt's taking a toll on my soul I'm screamin' submission and
EmI don't know if I am dyin' or livin'
G'Cause I will save face, for name's sake abuse a grace
BmTake a aim to obtain a new name in a newer place
DBut my name is lame, I can't walk and I ain't the same
Emand my name became a new destiny to the grave and
GThey say the oceans' blue, but it's black right now
BmIn the dark, on the sand, looking out at my crowd
DDepression and drowning singing now the full parts
Emand the lightning reveals where the ocean stops and the sky starts
GI've been told by the sky that the ocean I shall win
BmBut It's hard for me to see where the ocean stops and sky begins
Dand random srtikes of light remind me of what is true
EmBut right now the ocean is blacker than black and the sky is too...

[Intro]

G Bm D Em

[Chorus]

G Bm

Here I come, come to you

D Em G Bm

In the very clothes that I killed,

D Em

Killed you in, now I know I'm alone

G Bm D Em

I walk to you, rain falls from you

G Bm D Em

Can you wash me, can you drown me?

[Verse 1]

I wanna be a lot of things, so much pent up inside of me

I want to be stronger too long I've sat here undecidedly

Planning strategy, half of me knows it's all just a fallacy

Failing miserably, drastically and then I crash dramatically

Into a wall, I've hit a hundred times before

Yet I still ignore the dark red bloodstains on the floor

Now I'm back in front of you, Lord, with blood on the floor

Is the blood mine or yours? Don't wanna DO this anymore

Back and forth between being me and who you're callin' me to be

You see a man free who thinks he has to buy a key

To a door but he can't,'cause he's poor and he can't

Fall down anymore 'cause he's already on the floor

and his heart is broken and all and this is his call

But it's more of a cry 'cause he will try nine times

To realize nine crimes but he has more than nine lives

So he picks himself up and keeps climbing for the prize again

[Chorus]

G Bm

Here I come, again to you

D Em

Just to show the blood soaked through

G Bm

Through my bones, and all I own

D Em

Is there a way for me to grow?

G Bm D Em

I walk to you, rain falls from you

G Bm D Em

Can you wash me, can you drown me?

. . . Please?

[Verse 2]

Every time I feel selfish ambition is takin' my vision

My crime is my sentence repentance is takin' commission

It's taking a toll on my soul I'm screamin' submission and

I don't know if I am dyin' or livin'

'Cause I will save face, for name's sake abuse a grace

Take a aim to obtain a new name in a newer place

But my name is lame, I can't walk and I ain't the same

and my name became a new destiny to the grave and

They say the oceans' blue, but it's black right now

In the dark, on the sand, looking out at my crowd

Depression and drowning singing now the full parts

and the lightning reveals where the ocean stops and the sky starts

I've been told by the sky that the ocean I shall win

But It's hard for me to see where the ocean stops and sky begins

and random srtikes of light remind me of what is true

But right now the ocean is blacker than black and the sky is too...

G Bm D A

Woah....
