Tune down 1 step:
(low to high) D-G-C-F-A-D
Capo III
Capo 3rd Fret
Fm9 D# (repeat)
I'll tell you why I don't want to know where you are
Fm9 A#7 D# G#7
I got a joke I’ve been dying to tell you
Fm9 D# (repeat)
A silent kid is looking down the barrel
Fm9 A#7 D# G#7
To make the noise that I kept so quiet
Fm9 A#7
I kept it from you, Pitseleh
D#(v) G#7(v) D#add9 A#7 (4x)
Fm9 D# (repeat)
I’m not what's missing from your life now
Fm9 A#7 D# G#7
I could never be the puzzle pieces
Fm9 D#
They say that God makes problems
Fm9 D#
Just to see what you can stand
Fm9 A#7 D# G#7
Before you do as the devil pleases
Fm9 A#7
And give up the thing you love
D#(v) G#7(v) D#add9 A#7 (4x)
G# Cm Fm
But no one deserves it

I'm so angry.
Fm9 D#
I don't think it'll ever pass
Fm9 A#7 D# G#7
And I was bad news for you just because

I never meant to hurt you
