Em Bsus4 Gadd6 D6sus2 Cmaj7
She fills my bed with gasoline, You think I wouldn't notice

Her mind's made up, her love is gone, I think someone's trying to show us a sign

My bones will break and my heart would give, Oh it hurts to live

-VERSE-
It hurts to breathe well every time that you're not next to me

I think I'm on my way Oh, it hurts to live today
Oh and she says "Don't you wish you were dead like me?"
