Intro: C# B F# E
Verse:
[C#]Pardon me for saying so, but you look more pitiful
[B]Than I had ever imagined, despite perfect fashion
[C#]And your photographs depict you so differently.
[B]I always thought you would be some sort of match for me.
[C#]So let's d[B]ecide w[F#]ho can s[E]urvive
[C#]Stomping feet and [B]racing beats of [F#]hearts that don't [E]ever slow.
[C#]Then I'll [B]write l[F#]etters [E]on
White [C#]paper exp[B]ressing my d[F#]eep dissapo[E]intment.
[C#]Dripping where I stand from my [F#]watery hands,
Hoping to get past the op[C#]en bedroom door,
Where her [F#]clothes on the floor remind me of our conver[C#]sation,
The feeling of slight h[F#]esitation to turn out the light.
[C#]Fourteen days now since we started to [F#]complicate the situation.
[C#]I'm not hiding I'm just buying some [F#]time for us to find the back door.
[C#]We will [B]come out[F#] when it's [E]safe for us.
[C#]When it's s[B]afe for us..
[F#]When it's [E]safe for u[C#]s[B][F#][E]
O[C#]oh[B][F#][E]
For u[C#]s[B][F#][E]
O[C#]oh[B][F#][E]
Outro:
[C#]There's nothing left to say
To excuse the [F#]way that I've behaved.
I still feel him [C#]gripping like a stain
To this fabric, [F#]torn at every seam,
Then thrown [E]away
[E]Why should I take [B]all the blame for [C#]my mistakes?
[E]You were there with [B]every promise [C#]made to break.
[E]When did you be[B]come the one with[C#]out regret?
[E]Kill me, burn me [B]down, I swear I [C#]won't forget.
[E]When did you be[B]come the one with[C#]out regret?
[E]Kill me, burn me [B]down, I swear I [C#]won't forget.
