[Verse]
Bm  D      E      Bm      D      E       Bm
I   hurt myself today, to see if I still feel
  D     E      Bm        D    E           Bm
I focus on the pain, the only thing thats real
    D      E       Bm        D     E      Bm
The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting
       D       E    Bm           D      E    A
Try to kill it all away, but I remember everything

(Bm G D A) x2

[Chorus]
Bm            G    D            A
What Have I become,  my sweetest friend
Bm         G           D          A
Everyone I know, goes away in the end
    Bm                G    D            A
And you could have it all, my empire of dirt
Bm             G     A               Bm
I will let you down, I will make you hurt

(D E Bm) x2

[Verse]
Bm D         E        Bm       D      E     Bm
I  wear this crown of shit, upon my liars chair
D       E      Bm        D    E     Bm
Full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair
  D         E         Bm        D       E      Bm
Beneath the stains of time, the feeling   disappears
D       E       Bm    D    E           A (Hold and let fade)
You are someone else, I Am still right here

(Pause) Bm for one measure

[Chorus]
Bm            G    D            A
What Have I become,  my sweetest friend
Bm         G           D          A
Everyone I know, goes away in the end
    Bm                G    D            A
And you could have it all, my empire of dirt
Bm             G     A               Bm
I will let you down, I will make you hurt

[Outro]
   D       E      Bm      D       E      Bm
If I could start again, a million miles away
D       E      Bm    D       E      Bm(hold)
I would keep myself, I would find a way.
