[Verse]

Just like an ocean,

It started pouring,

Em C

Straight down my throat

Taste the poison,

For the weekend,

Em C

Never felt more alone

[Pre-Chorus]

I thought calling you up,

Would make it stop,

Em C

But no

[Chorus]

Why do I do this to my,

D Em

Why do I do this to myself,

When it's dangerous

I know it's bad for me,

D Em

I know you're not good for my health,

But I'm reckless

G B

And all the hearts you couldn't sink,

Pour myself another drink,

In hell

G D

Why do I do this to my,

Why do I do this to myself

[Verse 2]

Now I'm drowning,

In my apartment,

Em C

But it seems your doing fine

Though your name still,

Can give me chills,

Em C

After all this time

[Pre-Chorus]

The blue light on my blahhh,

B Em

The hear of more feeling leaves

Me cold,

[Chorus]

Why do I do this to my,

D Em

Why do I do this to myself,

When it's dangerous

I know it's bad for me,

D Em

I know your not good for my health,

But I'm reckless

G B

And all the hearts you couldn't sink,

Pour myself another drink,

In hell

Why do I do this to my,

D Em C G

Why do I do this to myself,
