[Verse 1]
AmHave you come here to save me?
GHave you come here to waste my time again?
AmAsk me too many questions
GAsk me too many questions I can't stand
AmThey come out of nowhere
GPut my head through a window instead of talking
EmHave you come here to save me?
FHave you come here to waste my time again?
[Chorus]
DmYou'll never lFearn
AmYou'll never lGearn how much EmI want to Fburn
DmI want to FburnG  
[Verse 2]
AmEver since I've been able
GEver since there've been weeds growing in my mind

F'gainst the wall

G#5

[Verse 1]

Have you come here to save me?

Have you come here to waste my time again?

Ask me too many questions

Ask me too many questions I can't stand

They come out of nowhere

Put my head through a window instead of talking

Have you come here to save me?

Have you come here to waste my time again?

[Chorus]

Dm F

You'll never learn

Am G Em F

You'll never learn how much I want to burn

Dm F G

I want to burn

[Verse 2]

Ever since I've been able

Ever since there've been weeds growing in my mind

Like a scent for the weekend

A descent into weakness defined

I'd stop the clock - but there's some things I can't control

G Em

Full moon stop porcelain against the wall

'gainst the wall

[Chorus]

Dm F

You'll never learn

Am G Em F

You'll never learn how much I want to burn

Am G

I want to burn

Dm F

And you'll never know

You'll never know how much I want to go

Am G

I want to go

[Bridge]

Thinking of ways to remind myself

I stare right into the dark

Am Am G

Thinking of ways to remind myself that

It's all a current up here

Am Am G

I saw a current of fear inside
