[Intro]
B G#m B E
[Verse]
[This verse is one long B sustained, but that sounds boring on acoustic)
B G#m B G#m
I liked having hurt,
B G#m B G#m
So send the pain below where I need it,
B G#m B G#m
You used to beg me to take care of things,
B G#m B G#m
And smile at the thought of me failing.
[Chorus]
B G#m B E
But long before, having hurt,
B G#m
I'd send the pain below,
B E
I'd send the pain below.
B G#m
Much like suffocating,
B E
Much like suffocating,
B G#m
Much like suffocating,
(I'd send the pain below...)
B E
Much like suffocating,
(I'd send the pain below...)
[Verse]
B G#m
You used to run me away,
B G#m
All while laughing.
B G#m
Then cry about that fact,
B G#m
'til I returned.
[Chorus]
B G#m B E
But long before, having hurt,
B G#m
I'd send the pain below,
B E
I'd send the pain below.
B G#m
Much like suffocating,
B E
Much like suffocating,
B G#m
Much like suffocating,
(I'd send the pain below...)
B E
Much like suffocating,
(I'd send the pain below...)
Much like suffocating.
[Bridge]
(You are down strumming the power chords here and pulling off your
ring and pinky fingers at the end of each bar or notes)
