[Intro]
F5 Bm Am Bm
[Verse 1]
Black ocean, cold and F5dark
I am the hungry Bmshark, fast and mercAmilessBm  
F5But the only girl that could talk to him just cBmouldn't swim
Tell me what's worse than AmthisBm  
And it echoes in the F5halls
They danced along the Bmwalls
The memories of your AmghostBm  
F5You are the one that I used to love
And I'm Bmstill in love, and I've never loved you the AmmostBm  
[Chorus 1]
I've seen better F5days
So unD5afraid in my E5youth
I can't F5breathe, much less bD5elieveE5  
[Verse 2]
You gave me everything you F5had
Every little thing you Bmhad
A pure love unreAmhearsedBm  
F5I've seen your best and worst
And Bmat your worst, you're still the best
AmBut at my best, I am the worst
BmIt's a curse your eyes are lined in paF5in
Black tears don't hide in Bmrain
And I tied you to the Amtracks
When I turned around, I heard the Bmsound
I hit the gF5round, I know there's no tBmurning AmbackBm  
[Chorus 2]
I've seen better F5days
So unD5afraid in my E5youth
I can't F5breathe, much less bD5elieve the tE5ruth
Better F5days, so unaD5fraid in my yoE5uth
I can't F5breathe, much less bD5elieve the tE5ruth
[Verse 3]
Black ocean, cold and F5dark
I am the hungry Bmshark, fast and mercAmilessBm  
F5But the only girl that could talk to him just cBmouldn't swim
Tell me what's worse than AmthisBm  
What's worse is all the F5coke
The ice that numbs my Bmthroat if only for the AmnightBm  
My mF5uscles will contract, your bones will cBmrack
It's just a fact cause I am here to Amwin this Bmfight
[Chorus 3]
I can't fucking F5breathe, much less bD5elieve the tE5ruth
I pick up a F5mag, aim for his hD5ead, and E5shoot
Better F5days, so unaD5fraid in my yE5outh
I can't F5breathe or bD5elieve the tE5ruth
[Coda]
Your eyes are lined in F5pain
Black tears don't hide in Bmrain
And I tied you to the Amtracks
When I turned around, I heard Bmthat sound

[Intro]

F5 Bm Am Bm

[Verse 1]

Black ocean, cold and dark

Bm Am Bm

I am the hungry shark, fast and merciless

F5 Bm

But the only girl that could talk to him just couldn't swim

Am Bm

Tell me what's worse than this

And it echoes in the halls

They danced along the walls

Am Bm

The memories of your ghost

You are the one that I used to love

Bm Am Bm

And I'm still in love, and I've never loved you the most

[Chorus 1]

I've seen better days

D5 E5

So unafraid in my youth

F5 D5 E5

I can't breathe, much less believe

[Verse 2]

You gave me everything you had

Every little thing you had

Am Bm

A pure love unrehearsed

I've seen your best and worst

And at your worst, you're still the best

But at my best, I am the worst

Bm F5

It's a curse your eyes are lined in pain

Black tears don't hide in rain

And I tied you to the tracks

When I turned around, I heard the sound

F5 Bm Am Bm

I hit the ground, I know there's no turning back

[Chorus 2]

I've seen better days

D5 E5

So unafraid in my youth

F5 D5 E5

I can't breathe, much less believe the truth

F5 D5 E5

Better days, so unafraid in my youth

F5 D5 E5

I can't breathe, much less believe the truth

[Verse 3]

Black ocean, cold and dark

Bm Am Bm

I am the hungry shark, fast and merciless

F5 Bm

But the only girl that could talk to him just couldn't swim

Am Bm

Tell me what's worse than this

What's worse is all the coke

Bm Am Bm

The ice that numbs my throat if only for the night

F5 Bm

My muscles will contract, your bones will crack

Am Bm

It's just a fact cause I am here to win this fight

[Chorus 3]

F5 D5 E5

I can't fucking breathe, much less believe the truth

F5 D5 E5

I pick up a mag, aim for his head, and shoot

F5 D5 E5

Better days, so unafraid in my youth

F5 D5 E5

I can't breathe or believe the truth

[Coda]

Your eyes are lined in pain

Black tears don't hide in rain

And I tied you to the tracks

When I turned around, I heard that sound
