[Verse 1]

I wake up with the same pain every night

Am F C G

Digging a hatchet into my left side

Clearing my chest of something to burn

Am F C G F

Ash for a decorative urn you keep in your mantelpiece;

F C

Like a trophy for everything

C Em C Em

That withers eventually

[Bridge]

Am G C F

Call me a coward, but I'm too scared to leave

Am G C F

'cause I want you to be the last thing I see, oh come on

Am G C F

Call me a coward, but I'm too scared to leave

Am G C F

Watched you pouring lighter fluid out onto the leaves

[Chorus]

C C

And I would've loved you with the dying fire

Let you smother me down to the embers

Am F C G F

Frostbite turning my limbs as black as cinder of funeral pyre

And I would have stayed if you asked me to

Stood outside till my lips turn blue

I wouldn't have blamed you

Am F C G F

For leaving me there on the porch while you drank gasoline

'cause it's what you needed so bad

[Outro]

And it's true

Em Am F C G F

It's nothing that we could do
