Verse 1:
Abm
   The night skys black and i'm 
 E    Ebm  C#m     B
awake lying on the ground
            F#/Bb            E
the grass beneath my feet is hard 
              F#                Abm
and cold just like i've come to be
the stars are gone behind the 
E          Ebm     C#m   B
clouds and i can't see a thing
             F#/Bb
so i'll just let my eyes stay 
E                   F#
closed just like me i can't open up


Chorus:
B                         E
  Cause i'm all wrong and i don't 
      F#                 Abm
see a chance to fix this head
             B  E
so just give up write me 
       F#
off pretend i don't exist


Post Chorus: G#m--E-Ebm-C#m-B-F#/Bb-E-F#--


Verse 2:
Abm
   there's something in an empty 
E                 Ebm
bed that makes it hard 
   C#m        B
to close your eyes
       F#/Bb
it can eat at you until 
     E                   F#
they both turn black and blue
Abm
   and all you want is a 
E                 Ebm
reason you should live
C#m  B              F#/Bb
or a way for you to die
  E              F#
a way for you to die


(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge:
E
  the grounds opening up
    Abm            B
i'm falling down below
           G           F#
an endless fall into a place 
             C#/F
that i don't think a 
             E
child should know
E
  and i'm screaming out a 
name that could 
Abm           B
never pass my lips
    G            F#
the poison in my veins that 
C#/F               E   E---
got me through her kiss

Outro:
            C#/F 
and now i'm too hung up on 
F#           Eb/G          Abm
that to have anything with you
         E            F#
it's the poison in my veins
    E            F#
the poison in my veins
    E            F#
the poison in my veins 
            B(hold)
that got me through
