[VERSE]
         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           G            G
  And you could have it all         my empire of dirt
      Am             F              G               Am
      I will let you down           I will make you hurt

[VERSE]
     C         D        Am               C      D      Am
  I  wear this crown of thorns          upon my liar's 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
