E  C A9

    E
I used to have a heart worth a billion bucks
          C                    A9
Now it's shitty, shoddy cheap
E
Sell it in my sleep for the fakes to eat
           C               A9           E
While they kiss my ass and tell me what I need:
                                  C                A9
Sex fiends with a vacant dream , a tattoo of a soul
        E                                                   
And the words you said, still ringing in my head
        C                   A9 
Wonder where the love they stole is hiding

C             Em    G            D
All I want to do is be mended by you
          C            Em      G            D
I don't want to be confused, I just want to find you
C              Em      G                  D
All I want to kill is that which keeps me ill
      C            Em     G          D
Underwhelmed and unfulfilled

            Am
They're in denial of the knowledge 
              C                 D
That they're living in a lame excuse

              Am                                    C             D
They're in denial of the fact they're fed like the gorging of the truth
           Am                                 C               D   
It's not alright with me, the love I lack, I need, I want you back
           Am                                C 
It's not alright with me, The circle torn apart
    D            E
I used to have a heart

E C A9
E C A9

   E                                   
I used to know a girl with the deepest trust
       C                   A9
That a man could ever know
E                                                                
Broke her neck from the lack of respect 
         C               A9            E
That I learned as an embryo on the west coast
E
Where the dead paint Hollywood red
       C                                       A9
The facade is well-fed with the blood of the Capulets
E                                     C
Spread like jelly on bread across the doors of the first-borns
A9
Weaned from birth on meds

C             Em      G               D
All I want to say is this could be okay
         C                Em   G             D
I don't want to be a slave, I just want to spend my days
C                    Em            G               D
Wandering through the haze, your voice to lead the way
       C       Em       G        D
I can finally go and say ?Hey?


            Am                                                  
I was in denial of the knowledge that 
       C                  D
I was living in an empty lie.
            Am                
They're in denial of what you are to me
    C                   D
My heart, my love, my guide 
           Am                                 C                 D
It's not alright with me, the love I lack, I need, I want you back
            Am                              C 
It's not alright with me, The circle torn apart
    D                  
I used to have a heart

    G        ( D/F# )*       E    
There you are in front of me
G          ( D/F# )          E 
Luminescent as you used to be
G            ( D/F# )            E
Just sing the saddest song for me, revive me 
G  ( D/F# )      E
        Revive me
Yeah!

Am C D x3
Woah! Come on, come on, yeah!

Am C D                  E
       I used to have a heart

*You don't have to play the D/F# , but I like it there.
