Notes from the Author:
It took me a while to get this sounding right. There's a lot of nuances to the way I play it so I do
plan on uploading a youtube video to show you how I do it. In any case, I hope you enjoy and get to play this
absolute banger.

[Intro]
                

[Verse 1]
            
Breathing in t

            
he dark, lying

                    
 on its side
            
The ruins of t

            
he day, painte

                    
d with a scar
            
And the more I

            
 straighten ou

              
t, the less it

                  
 wants to try
            
The feelings s

            
tart to rot, o

              
ne wink at a t

            
ime

Just know that

             
 if you hide,

When you get o

             
ut of bed, don
