Verse 1:
F Dm
Fading everything to black and blue
Am
You look a lot like you'd
Cm Bb
Shatter in the blink of an eye
Gm C
But you keep sailing right on through
F Dm
Every time you say you're learning
Am
You just look a lot like me
Cm Bb
Pale under the blistering sky
Gm C
White and red black and blue
Chorus 1:
Gm C
You've been waiting a long time
Gm C
You've been waiting a long time
Bb F
To fall down on your knees
C
Cut your hands
Gm Bb
Cut yourself until you bleed
F Gm
Fall asleep next to me
Verse 2:
F Dm
Wait for everyone to go away
Am Cm Bb
And in a dimly lit room where you've got nothing to hide
Gm C
Say your good-byes
F Dm Am
Tell yourself we'll read a note that says I'm sorry everyone
Cm Bb
I'm tired of feeling nothing goodbye
Gm C
Wash your face dry your eyes
Chorus 2:
Gm C
You've been waiting a long time
Gm C
You've been waiting a long, long time
Bb F
To fall down on your knees
C
Cut your hands
Gm Bb
Cut yourself until you bleed
F C
But fall asleep next to me
Gm Bb F
Have a dream I'm falling down on my face
C Gm Bb
Scrape my knees scrape my hands until they bleed
F Gm
Cause you're fast asleep next to me
Gm
Next to me...
