intro-G,Em,C,G,Em,C,G
G
I am waiting 'til there's nothing left
I'm a prayer, all you see is breath
Em C G
I am empty, I am skin and bones, I'm a ribcage
Well, I'm out the door with apathy
And I'm coming home with sympathy
Em C G
I am realize, I am shame, I choose to stay here
Em C
You got a sign, so I pay a ransom
G D
You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come
Em C
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm
D
My arm

G
There's a song I love so much I stole
Every precious note I took, I sold
Em C G
Now I spit out words. Do you see my lungs on the dancefloor?
G
To a hopeless cause, I sold my soul
Em
A romantic plastic piece of shit you can mold
C G
Until I break into chokable pieces
Em C
You got a sign, so I pay a ransom
G D
You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come
Em C
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm
D
My arm
Solo-G,Em,C,G,Em,C
Em C
And I open up like the back of a book
G D
I ruin everything with just a quick look
Em C
I settle down like a rocket explodes
G D
Hit the ground, but how far out who knows
Em C
You got a sign, so I pay a ransom
G D
You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come
Em C D
Had a nice grip on my life untill you twisted my arm
my arm
end on G
