Asus2 E/G# B/D#
So is it courage or strength
F#m F#sus2 F#m
and is that what I'm waiting for?
Asus2 E/G# B/D#
If I could just kill myself
F#m F#sus2 F#m
would it also kill the remorse?
Asus2 E/G# B/D#
I wanted so badly to catch a break
F#m F#sus2 F#m
but I'm only breaking down.
Asus2 E/G#
I'm still here and standing
B/D#
but if it's up to me
F#m F#sus2 F#m Asus2 E/G# B/D#
I don't think I'll be hanging around
Esus2
The drink slips down my throat
E/G#
and the burn cures nice and slow.
F#m B/D#
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
Esus2
The only parts left of me
Now, here I am
C#sus2
Just a kid without a better plan.
E/G# F#m
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most.
B/D#
I never got to see the west coast.

Asus2 E/G# B/D#
Spent my nights just asking why
F#m F#sus2 F#m
Would God let me become like this.
Asus2 E/G# B/D#
Was it a joke from the start?
F#m F#sus2 F#m
Was I supposed to laugh more at it?
Asus2 E/G# B/D#
And everyone's quoting their teachers and preachers
F#m F#sus2 F#m
but their words make me feel so alone.
Asus2 E/G#~ B/D#~
No one ever says that they've had those thoughts
F#m F#sus2 F#m
in the middle of the night.
G#sus2~ E/G#~ B/D#~
No one ever admits that they wanted to take their life.
Esus2
The drink slips down my throat
E/G#
and the burn cures nice and slow.
F#m B/D#
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
Esus2
The only parts left of me
Now, here I am
C#sus2
Just a kid without a better plan.
E/G# F#m
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most.
B/D#
I never got to see the west coast.
Repeat Interlude
C#sus2*
But it's the life I dreamed I have
G#/C
The love I find in my grasp
G#m/B F#/A#
The words I could share with someone.
C#sus2*
Those thoughts keep the breath in my lungs
G#/C
That tomorrow my hope will become
G#m/B F#/A#
fulfilled by a love that can't be undone.
Asus2 E/G# B/D#
And save a wretch like me.
Chorus
Esus2
So if the drink slips down your throat
E/G#
and the burn cures nice and slow.
F#m B/D#
All the worst parts you wouldn't want me to see.
Esus2
The same parts, I have in me
C#sus2
Now, scares me too we are both this way.
E/G#
I feel just like you do.
F#m
But when you're by yourself you should know
B/D#
One day we got to see the west coast.
