[Verse 1]
  Am

  C        Dsus2  Am              C      Dsus2     Am 
I hurt myself   today        to see if I still feel
  C     Dsus2    Am            C        Dsus2          Am
I focus on the pain          the only thing that's real
     C     Dsus2     Am           C      Dsus2      Am
The needle tears a hole      the old familiar sting
       C       Dsus2   Am            C        D          *G  (*        
Try to kill it all away      but I remember everything

[Chorus](full chords, full rhythm)
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  (*back to standard rhythm)
I will let you down       I will make you hurt

[Verse 2]
  C         Dsus2      Am        C       Dsus2        Am
I wear this crown of thorns   upon my liar’s chair

C       Dsus2         Am         C      Dsus2      Am
Full of broken thoughts        I cannot repair

 C          Dsus2       Am         C        Dsus2         Am
Beneath the stains of time   the feeling   disappears

C       Dsus2        Am    C           D          *G     (*        
You are someone else     I am  still right here

Everyone I know              goes away in the end
    Am                F       G            G
And you could have it all     My empire of dirt

I would keep myself          I would find a way
