On the verses, just strum the chords slowly to get the effect. On the chorus
part, you can play the chords fuller and harder. I think this is pretty accurate,
I had to piece it together from about four bad chord charts, and I've played it
to the CD and it sounds about right. Have fun, kids.
C D Am C D Am
I hurt myself today to see if I still feel
C D Am C D Am
I focus on the pain the only thing that's real
C D Am C D Am
The needle tears a hole the old familiar sting
C D Am C D G
Try to kill it all away but I remember everything
Am F C G
What have I become? My sweetest friend

Am F C G
Everyone I know goes away in the end
Am F C G
And you could have it all My empire of dirt
Am F C G
I will let you down I will make you hurt
C D Am C D Am
I wear this crown of thorns upon my liars chair
C D Am C D Am
Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair
C D Am C D Am
Beneath the stains of time the feeling disappears
C D Am C D G
You are someone else I am still right here
For this last part just strum a G
If I could start again A million miles away
I would keep myself I would find a way
