* The Am7 is optional and even though Will didn't mention it being played, you can hear that in the chords
that play in the left channel during the outro it's briefly strummed once. You don't have to play it, but
it adds a nice element to the progression.
[Intro]
(x2)
[Verse 1]
I am not allow
ed to have fee
lings
Feelings would
complicate th
is
I'm a stupid u
gly stuttering
asshole
And there's no
dignity in my
anger
Mind if I coug
h in your ear
all night?
Mind if I rese
nt you for a y
ear tonight?
I am not the t
ype of man
Who can fall a
sleep in someo
ne else's arms
(x2)
[Bridge 1]
Didn't mean to
lie, not at a
ll
I love you som
etimes
I love you
But it's hard
to say
There are time
s when I don't
love
I can't love a
nything in thi
s world
I want you to
know
I want you to
know
I want you to
know
That I'm (awak
e)
But I hope
#
That you're
I hope that yo
u're a(sleep)
(x3)
* (x2)
[Verse 2]
It doesn't mat
ter what I say
If you don't s
ay anything in
response
The final phra
se of my last
#
sentence
Hangs in the a
ir, sounding s
tupider and st
upider
Why can't you
at least laugh
I tried so har
d to find the
right words
It's a matter
of timing, you
only have so
long
To capture the
feeling befor
e it's gone
[Bridge 2]
Here is a demo
of my latest
sentence
I'll fill in t
he good parts
later
I'll make it f
it together re
al nice
And cut out al
l the likes
[Verse 3]
Two days ago w
as really bad
I couldn't get
my head strai
ght all day
And everything
you said seem
ed to have an
edge
You were disap
pointed and I
didn't know wh
y
Eventually it
came to a head
Over something
as stupid as
making coffee
You said it wa
s a mistake to
ever try and
help me
Then you went
in the kitchen
I drove off to
go buy some s
tuff
Which was a mi
stake because
I didn't want
to come back
I just sat in
the parking lo
t
And dabbed at
my thumb, whic
h was bleeding
#
for some reas
on
Leaving a trai
l of red bloss
oms on the nap
kin
I felt sick an
d I didn't kno
w what to do
How long would
it be before
I could face y
ou?
(x2)
[Bridge 3]
Flash back to
The first angr
y song I had t
o hide from yo
u
It goes like t
his
I am hiding fr
om you at the
Q F C (x3)
