[Intro]
C#m A F#m G#m
[Verse 1]
C#mAnd I can't get a grip, no, no, no, no, no
AFeeling like I'm always losing control agaF#minst
Nobody leaves this game alG#mive
C#mPlease, babe, I beg you, don't fuck with me
AFractured my soul in a million pieces
F#mBut nobody breaks me a second tiG#mme
[Pre-Chorus]
I swear I hAad no idea
That she would see me so cF#mlear
But C#mhow could I conqEuer my fearEs? NoG#m  
[Chorus]
How can I lC#move you if I can't loF#mse you?
If I can't leEarn to love again?B  
How can I lC#move you if I can't ruF#mle you?
How can I leCmarn to let you iBn?
[Post-Chorus]

C#m A F#m G#m
[Verse 2]
I'm baC#mlanced on the brink of insanity
I'm walAking the line between life and fantasy

C#mBrick by brick I build my barricade
AProtected myself from making the same mistakes

And I can't get a grip, no, no, no, no, no

A F#m

Feeling like I'm always losing control against

G#m

Nobody leaves this game alive

C#m

Please, babe, I beg you, don't fuck with me

Fractured my soul in a million pieces

That she would see me so clear

I'm balanced on the brink of insanity

I'm walking the line between life and fantasy

I, I need to get free from all these ghosts

C#m

Brick by brick I build my barricade

Protected myself from making the same mistakes

F#m G#m

So I'm not too good at letting go
