[Intro]

E5 F# E5 Emaj7 F# C#m E5 A

[Verse 1]

This'll be the death of me

I can't make you see what I see

C#m A E5

And man, it makes me so uneasy

I wish I could read your mind

Feels I'm illiterate when it comes to mine

C#m A Emaj B

I get the feeling that this is why

A E5

whoa oh oh

[Chorus]

So I try to care for myself the way I care for you

C#m A E5

But I eat my thumbs for breakfast and I hold out on the truth

It's easier to digest what you know than to swallow something new

C#m A Emaj B

And man, well I've grown so accustomed to you

A E5

whoa oh oh

[Bridge 1]

C#m A

But i can't make you sway

Emaj

I can't make you want me around

C#m A

So why would I stay

Emaj

Just to watch this burn to the ground?

[Verse 2]

Yeah well I mumble too fucking much

And it seems I've lost all kinds of touch

C#m A

of what I want, and what I need

What the fuck is wrong with me?

I wish I could find some time

C#m

To revert these walls back to a mind

A Emaj B

And reconect with the ghost inside

A E5

whoa oh oh

[Bridge 2]

C#m A

I can promise you nothing

Emaj B

'cause i'll only let you down

C#m A

And there's no point pretending

Emaj B

Yeah, just to make you hang around

C#m A

Yeah, well, I can't make you stay

Emaj

I know I can't make you want me around

B C#m A

So why would I stay

Emaj

Yeah, just to watch this burn

N.C

Why the fuck would I stay?
