A G# D#
So is it courage or strength
F F2 F3
and is that what I'm waiting for
A G# D#
If I could just kill myself
F F2 F3
would it also kill the remorse
A G# D#
I wanted so badly to catch a break
F F2 F3
but I'm only breaking down
A G#
I'm still here and standing
D#
but if it's up to me
F F2 F3 A G# D#
I don't think I'll be hanging around
Chorus:
E
The drink slips down my throat
G#
and the burn cures nice and slow
F D#
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
E
The only parts left of me
Now here I am
C#(h)
Just a kid without a better plan
G# F
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most
D#
I never got to see the west coast
A C# A C# A C# D#
A C# A C# A C# D#
A G# D#
Spent my nights just asking why
F F2 F3
Would God let me become like this
A G# D#
Was it a joke from the start
F F2 F3
Was I suppose to laugh more at it
A G# D#
And everyone's quoting their teachers and preachers
F F2 F3
but their words make me feel so alone
A G# D#
No one ever says that they've had those thoughts
F F2 F3
in the middle of the night
A G# D#
No one ever admits that they wanted to take their life
Chrous
A C# A C# A C# D#
C#(h)
But it's the life I dreamed I'd have
C
The love I've found in my grasp
B A#
The words I could share with someone
C#(h)
Those thoughts keep the breath in my lungs
C
That tomorrow my hope will become
B A#
to feel a love that can't be undone
A G# D#
And save a wretch like me
Chorus
A C# A C# A C# D#
End on A
