intro-G Em C G Em C G 
 
G 
I am waiting 'til there's nothing left  

I'm a prayer  all you see is breath 
    Em            C                    G  
I am empty  I am skin and bones  I'm a ribcage  

Well  I'm out the door with apathy  

And I'm coming home with sympathy  
     Em            C                  G 
I am realize  I am shame  I choose to stay here  
Em                 C 
You got a sign  so I pay a ransom  
G               D 
You felt sorry  so I felt a wrath come  
Em                    C   
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm  
   D 
My arm  
 
Pre verse-
G Em C G Em C G 
 
G 
There's a song I love so much I stole  

Every precious note I took  I sold  
      Em                      C                    G 
Now I spit out words.  Do you see my lungs on the dancefloor? 
G 
To a hopeless cause  I sold my soul       
                                         Em 
A romantic plastic piece of shit you can mold  
        C                   G 
Until I break into chokable pieces  
Em                 C   
You got a sign  so I pay a ransom 
G               D  
You felt sorry  so I felt a wrath come 
Em                    C 
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm 
D  
My arm 
 
Solo-
G Em C G Em C  
 
Em                     C 
And I open up like the back of a book  
G                      D 
I ruin everything with just a quick look 
Em                   C 
I settle down like a rocket explodes 
G                       D  
Hit the ground  but how far out who knows 
Em                 C 
You got a sign  so I pay a ransom 
G                   D  
You felt sorry  so I felt a wrath come 
Em                    C                          D 
Had a nice grip on my life untill you twisted my arm  
        
my arm  
end on G
