Em        D6sus2        Aadd9
 I am the monster you created

 You ripped out all my parts
Em            D6sus2          Aadd9        Cmaj7
 And worst of all, for me to live, I gotta kill the part of me that saw

    That I needed you more

      I hope you know we had everything
Cmaj7         Em            Dsus2       G  B7
      When you broke me and left these pieces
Cmaj7              Em            Dsus2
      I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and
Cmaj7              Em            G             B
      I want you to lose like I lose when I play what could have been

              Oh, what could have been

Em        D6sus2        Aadd9
  I am your ghost, a fallen angel

  You ripped out all my parts
Em           Dsus2        A          Cmaj7
  I couldn't care what invention you made me
       Em Am                  B7
'Cause I,      I was meant to be yours
