A#sus2 F/A C/E
So is it courage or strength
Gm Gsus2 Gm
and is that what I'm waiting for?
A#sus2 F/A C/E
If I could just kill myself
Gm Gsus2 Gm
would it also kill the remorse?
A#sus2 F/A C/E
I wanted so badly to catch a break
Gm Gsus2 Gm
but I'm only breaking down.
A#sus2 F/A
I'm still here and standing
C/E
but if it's up to me
Gm Gsus2 Gm A#sus2 F/A C/E
I don't think I'll be hanging around
Fsus2
The drink slips down my throat
F/A
and the burn cures nice and slow.
Gm C/E
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
Fsus2
The only parts left of me
Now, here I am
Dsus2
Just a kid without a better plan.
F/A Gm
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most.
C/E
I never got to see the west coast.

A#sus2 F/A C/E
Spent my nights just asking why
Gm Gsus2 Gm
Would God let me become like this.
A#sus2 F/A C/E
Was it a joke from the start?
Gm Gsus2 Gm
Was I supposed to laugh more at it?
A#sus2 F/A C/E
And everyone's quoting their teachers and preachers
Gm Gsus2 Gm
but their words make me feel so alone.
A#sus2 F/A~ C/E~
No one ever says that they've had those thoughts
Gm Gsus2 Gm
in the middle of the night.
Asus2~ F/A~ C/E~
No one ever admits that they wanted to take their life.
Fsus2
The drink slips down my throat
F/A
and the burn cures nice and slow.
Gm C/E
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
Fsus2
The only parts left of me
Now, here I am
Dsus2
Just a kid without a better plan.
F/A Gm
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most.
C/E
I never got to see the west coast.
Repeat Interlude
Dsus2*
But it's the life I dreamed I have
A/C#
The love I find in my grasp
Am/C G/B
The words I could share with someone.
Dsus2*
Those thoughts keep the breath in my lungs
A/C#
That tomorrow my hope will become
Am/C G/B
fulfilled by a love that can't be undone.
A#sus2 F/A C/E
And save a wretch like me.
Chorus
Fsus2
So if the drink slips down your throat
F/A
and the burn cures nice and slow.
Gm C/E
All the worst parts you wouldn't want me to see.
Fsus2
The same parts, I have in me
Dsus2
Now, scares me too we are both this way.
F/A
I feel just like you do.
Gm
But when you're by yourself you should know
C/E
One day we got to see the west coast.
