Hold the Am for 2 beats- only have 1 beat for c & Dsus2
[Intro]
Am C Dsus2 Am C Dsus2 Am
[Verse]
C Dsus2 Am
I hurt my-self to-day,
C Dsus2 Am
To see if I still feel.
C Dsus2 Am
I focus on the pain,
C Dsus2 Am
The only thing that's real.
C Dsus2 Am
The needle tears a hole,
C Dsus2 Am
the old fam-iliar sting.
C Dsus2 Am
Try to kill it all a-way,
C Dsus2 G
But I re-member every-thing.
[Chorus]
Am7 Fadd9 C*
What have I become?
G
My sweetest friend.
A7 Fadd9
Every one I know,
C* G
goes a-way in the end.
Am7 Fadd9 C*
And you could have it all,
G
My empire of dirt.
Am7 Fadd9
I will let you down,
C* G
I will make you hurt.
[Verse]
Am C Dsus2 Am C Dsus2 Am
C Dsus2 Am
I wear this crown of thorns,
C Dsus2 Am
Upon my liar's chair.
C Dsus2 Am
Full of broken thoughts,
C Dsus2 Am
I can-not re-pair.
C Dsus2 Am
Beneath the stains of time,
C Dsus2 Am
The feeling disap-pears.
C Dsus2 Am
You are someone else,
C Dsus2 G
I am still right here.
[Chorus]
Am7 Fadd9 C*
What have I become?
G
My sweetest friend.
A7 Fadd9
Every one I know,
C* G
goes a-way in the end.
Am7 Fadd9 C*
And you could have it all,
G
My empire of dirt.
Am7 Fadd9
I will let you down,
C* G
I will make you hurt.
[Outro]
Am7 Fadd9
If I could start again,
C* G
One million miles a-way,
Am7 Fadd9
I would keep myself,
C* G
I would find a way.
Am C Dsus2 (fade out)
