I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
 
[Chorus]
 
    G   Am7 Fadd9/A C/E
e|--3----3-----3-----3----|
B|--3----1-----1-----1----|
G|--0----2-----2-----0----|
D|--0----2-----3-----2----|
A|--2----0-----0-----3----|
E|--3----------------0----|
 
What have I become,
my sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
 
[Verse 2]
 
     Am        C           D
e|------0------------------2------|
B|------1--------1---------3------|

E|--------------------------------|
 
I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
the feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here
 
[Chorus]
 
    G   Am7 Fadd9/A C/E
e|--3----3-----3-----3----|
B|--3----1-----1-----1----|
G|--0----2-----2-----0----|
D|--0----2-----3-----2----|
A|--2----0-----0-----3----|
E|--3----------------0----|
 
What have I become,
my sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
 
[Bridge]
 
    G   Am7 Fadd9/A C/E

B|--3----1-----1-----1----|
G|--0----2-----2-----0----|
D|--0----2-----3-----2----|
A|--2----0-----0-----3----|
E|--3----------------0----|
 
If I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

man you are all wrong, the chords are played like this: --3--3--3--3-- --1--1--1--1-- --2--2--0--0-- --2--3--2--0-- --0--0--3--2-- --0--x--x--3-- seriously, play it and youll see that it sounds right. it sounds so much better than the way that these people tabbed it out so hopefully they will change it.
