[Intro]

Bm G D

[Verse 1]

Bm G

You know, I'm sorry

I won't make it to your party

Bm G

Got caught up in my own selfishness

It won't let me be a part of this

Bm G

And I know I've started

Drifting off every second

Bm G D

I can't wait to leave as soon as I arrive

I count the seconds

[Chorus]

Bm G D

Down and down we go

Bm G D

We'll torch this place we know

Bm G D

Before one of us takes a chance

And breaks this, I won't be the one

No, I won't be the one

[Verse 2]

Bm G

I know it's pathetic

Fuck it, yeah, I said it

Bm G

Tried to tell it like it is

There's a chance that I'll regret it, so

Bm G

Let's go, let's end this

I delete before I send it

Bm G

And we can play pretend

Like we haven't reached the end yet

[Chorus]

Down and down we go

We'll torch this place we know

Before one of us takes a chance
