(Great guy watch him and apply his lesson to this! I would recommend it)


[Intro]

Am    C  D  x2


[Verse 1]

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


[Chorus]

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    C              G
And you could have it all , my  empire of dirt
Am               F    G                 Am
I will let you down , I will make you hurt


[Bridge]

(Am)  C  D
Am    C  D


[Verse 2]

Am    C          D       Am       C       D    Am
   I wear this crown of thorns , upon my liars chair
C       D      Am         C      D     Am
Full of broken thoughts , I cannot repair
 C         D            Am       C      D        Am
Beneath the stains of time , the feeling disappears
C       D         Am   C     D            G
You are someone else , I am still right here


[Chorus]

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    C             G
And you could have it all , my empire of dirt
Am               F    C                  G
I will let you down , I will make you hurt


(still strumming and sing louder!)


[Outro]

   Am               F      C              G
If I could start again , a million miles away
Am              F     G
I would keep myself , I would find a way..

(you can end it with a G or Am your choosing)
