Verse:
E
I can read the lines
B/Eb
On your face
And they’re telling me

Everything I already know

I hold you in my arms

Slowly sinking

Under alone
Yeah

C#m B
So I act cool
A
On the outside
C#m B
But it’s eating me
A
Alive
Chorus:
E
Cuz when it comes to you
B
There’s nothing I can do
F#m
I can’t make you love me
A
When you don’t
E
I see it in your eyes
B
All the compromise
F#m
I can’t take another
A
Slow goodbye
Verse:
E
Sitting in the park
B/Eb
After dark
Smoking cigarettes
F#m A
Biting on the black of my nails

Cuz all I ever wanted

Was what you took away from me
F#m
Trying to make it right
A
But it’s too late

I’m a hopeless case

On the inside
C#m B
And it’s eating me

Alive

Cuz when it comes to you

There’s nothing I can do

All the compromise

I can’t take another

C#m G#m
I die
A
A million times
E
Every time when you

Look me in the eye

Die

Cuz I’ve heard it all before

The same game

Going around and around

But I still end up with nothing

But hurting
