[Verse]

Em7 Cadd9 G

I am so numb, I can’t feel anything at all

Em7 G Dsus4

Wanna kick myself for letting myself call

Em7 Cadd9 G

After six long months, I had to hear your voice

Em7 Dsus4 G

But now its worse, I’m at my breaking point

Em7 Cadd9 G

At this rate, I’d do anything to be

Em7 Cadd9 G

Half of who I was before you left me

Em7 Cadd9 G

I could feel myself so close to being whole

Em7 Dsus4 G

But now I’m just an empty broken bottle

[Chorus]

Cadd9 G

I, I don’t wanna miss you

Cadd9 G

I tell myself it’s easier to just stay mad

Cadd9 G

They keep telling me to let myself grieve

Em7 Dsus4 G

But grieving won’t ever bring you back

Em7 Dsus4 Em7

You were the worst and best I ever had

[Verse]

Em7 Cadd9 G

I wanna burn the letters that you send

Em7 G Dsus4

But they’re the only thing of you that I have left

Em7 Cadd9 G

So I’ll tuck them away inside some dresser drawer

Em7 Dsus4 G

To save and read when I’m not hurting anymore

[Chorus]

Cadd9 G

I, I don’t wanna miss you

Cadd9 G

I tell myself it’s easier to just stay mad

Cadd9 G

They keep telling me to let myself grieve

Em7 Dsus4 G

But grieving won’t ever bring you back

Em7 Dsus4 Em7

You were the worst and best I ever had

[Bridge]

How do you grieve the loss of somebody who isn’t even dead

Em7 Cadd9 Dsus4

Can’t even begin to explain the ways that its messed with my head

Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4 Cadd9

I’ll spend my whole life wondering what I did to make you leave

Dsus4 Em7 Cadd9 Dsus4

And you’ll just say, it’s not you, it’s me

Em7 Cadd9 Dsus4

But that’s not good enough for me

[Chorus]

Cadd9 G

I, I don’t wanna miss you

Cadd9 G

I tell myself it’s easier to just stay mad

Cadd9 G

They keep telling me to let myself grieve
