Bbsus2       F/A         C/E
    So is it courage or strength
        Gm           Gsus2   Gm
and is that what I'm waiting for?
Bbsus2         F/A         C/E
    If I could just kill myself
         Gm    Gsus2   Gm
would it also kill the remorse?
Bbsus2          F/A      C/E
    I wanted so badly to catch a break
        Gm   Gsus2   Gm
but I'm only breaking down.
Bbsus2                 F/A
    I'm still here and standing
            C/E
but if it's up to me
    Gm  Gsus2   Gm           Bbsus2 F/A           C/E
I don't think        I'll be             hanging around


    Fsus2
The drink slips down my throat
        F/A
and the burn cures nice and slow.
        Gm                                 C/E
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
                       Fsus2
The only parts left of me

Now, here I am
       Dsus2
Just a kid without a better plan.
             F/A                               Gm
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most.
  C/E
I never got to see the west coast.

Bbsus2       F/A                C/E
    Spent my nights just asking why
       Gm   Gsus2  Gm  
Would God let me become like this.
Bbsus2       F/A           C/E
    Was it a joke from the start?
          Gm     Gsus2  Gm 
Was I supposed to laugh more at it?
Bbsus2             F/A                        C/E
    And everyone's quoting their teachers and preachers
           Gm          Gsus2   Gm
but their words make me feel so alone.
Bbsus2     F/A~                   C/E~
    No one ever says that they've had those thoughts
         Gm   Gsus2  Gm
in the middle of the night.
Asus2~     F/A~                   C/E~
    No one ever admits that they wanted to take their life.


      Fsus2
The drink slips down my throat
         F/A
and the burn cures nice and slow.
         Gm                                 C/E
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
                       Fsus2
The only parts left of me

Now, here I am
        Dsus2
Just a kid without a better plan.
             F/A                               Gm
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most.
    C/E
I never got to see the west coast.


Repeat Interlude

             Dsus2*
But it's the life I dreamed I have
     A/C#
The love I find in my grasp
     Am/C                        G/B
The words I could share with someone.
        Dsus2*
Those thoughts keep the breath in my lungs
       A/C#
That tomorrow my hope will become
   Am/C                            G/B
fulfilled by a love that can't be undone.
    Bbsus2    F/A         C/E
And save    a wretch like me.

Chorus
          Fsus2
So if the drink slips down your throat
        F/A
and the burn cures nice and slow.
         Gm                                  C/E   
All the worst parts you wouldn't want me to see.
                          Fsus2
The same parts, I have in me
                          Dsus2
Now, scares me too we are both this way.
                    F/A
I feel just like you do.
                                        Gm
But when you're by yourself you should know
    C/E
One day we got to see the west coast.
