     Emaj7The road turned F#7sus4into a snake
It lC#m9ooked in my veins and said
"It's in your bloEmaj7od"
That's when I tried to F#7sus4run
But it was way too C#m9dark
Got scared and ran into your C#m7arms
Oh sweet chemical predicamentE  
I can't stop, can't F#11change the evident
     Emaj7Predisposed to fF#7sus4orget the best part
The sC#m9tory where the hero dies without regardEmaj7  
Made sure that the F#7sus4needle was clean when I C#m9let myself fall asleep
  C#m7And all I kept was a piece of your picture
It slEipped from my fingers when I F#11slid into my Edreams
It's not as deep as iEadd9t seems
And unfair as it may C#m9be
I'm just here to remind you
ReF#11mind you not to forget to remember Eme
It's not as deep as iEadd9t seems
And unfair as it may F#13b9be
I'm just here to remind you
ReC#m9mind you not to forF#11get to remember Eme

    Emaj7I know you know how it fF#7sus4eels to make a clean breakC#m9  
My bones are your bones, my home is your hoEmaj7me
You must F#7sus4be so confusedC#m9  
I got scared and ran away from yoC#m7u
Oh sweet divine predicamentE  
I can't hide, I can't cF#11hange the evident
     Emaj7Predisposed to F#7sus4trust a photographC#m9  
To portray the way you used to laughEmaj7  
Do you rF#7sus4ecall the day you wC#m9ed?
Such a radiant bride
You couldn't wait to C#m7see your first born
Take his very first steps
And you smEiled at him, 'cause you tF#11hought he looked like Eme
It's not as deep as iEadd9t seems
And unfair as it may C#m9be
I'm just here to remind you

I don't possess the strength to answer strEmaj7aight
And no, I'm not aF#7sus4fraid, at least not to C#m9die
I'm afraid to live and not remember C#m7why
Sweet chemical indifferenceE  
I can't stop, can't cF#11hange the evidence
     Emaj7Predisposed to peF#7sus4rpetual sicknessC#m9  
I refuse to let you all be witnessEmaj7  
Make sure the F#7sus4needle is clean when you C#m9let me go back to sleep
   C#m7And situate the piece of her picture underEneath my fingers
It proF#11tects me in my drEeams
It's not as deep as iEadd9t seems
And unfair as it may C#m9be
I'm just here to remind you
ReF#11mind you not to forget to remember Eme
