I [C] hurt [D] myself [Am] today
To [C] see if [D] I still [Am] feel
I [C] focus [D] on the [Am] pain
The [C] only [D] thing that's [Am] real.
The [C] needle [D] tears a [Am] hole
The [C] old [D] familiar [Am] sting
Try to [C] kill it [D] all [Am] away
But I [C] remember [D] every- [G] thing.
[Am] What have I [F] become?
[C] My sweetest [G] friend
[Am] Everyone I [F] know goes [C] away
In the [G] end.
And [Am] you could have it [F] all
[G] My empire of dirt
[Am] I will let you [F] down
[G] I will make you [Am] hurt.
I [C] wear this [D] crown of [Am] thorns
[C] Upon my [D] liar's [Am] chair
[C] Full of [D] broken [Am] thoughts
[C] I [D] cannot [Am] repair.
[C] Beneath the [D] stains of [Am] time
The [C] feelings [D] dis- [Am] appear
[C] You are [D] someone [Am] else
[C] I'm [D] still right [G] here.
[Am] What have I [F] become?
[C] My sweetest [G] friend
[Am] Everyone I [F] know goes [C] away
In the [G] end.
And [Am] you could have it [F] all
[G] My empire of dirt
[Am] I will let you [F] down
[G] I will make you [Am] hurt.
If [Am] I could start [F] again
A [G] million miles away
[Am] I would keep [F] myself
[G] I would find a [Am] way
