G#m                  A    C#m
wrong This fucked up fantasy

Nothing left to do
               C#m

Tell me your favorite song
            A         C#m
I'll sing a different tune
         G#m         A
I've got nothing but blood
           B        C#m
upon these hands of mine

Left you out in the sun

you hung me out to dry
