Verse 1:
Ab5
   The night skys black and i'm 
 E5    Eb5  C#5     B5
awake lying on the ground
            F#5            E5
the grass beneath my feet is hard 
              F#5                Ab5
and cold just like i've come to be
the stars are gone behind the 
E5          Eb5     C#5   B5
clouds and i can't see a thing
             F#5
so i'll just let my eyes stay 
E5                   F#5
closed just like me i can't open up


Chorus:
B5                         E5
  Cause i'm all wrong and i don't 
      F#5                 Ab5
see a chance to fix this head
             B5  E5
so just give up write me 
       F#5
off pretend i don't exist


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


Verse 2:
Ab5
   there's something in an empty 
E5                 Eb5
bed that makes it hard 
   C#5        B5
to close your eyes
       F#5
it can eat at you until 
     E5                   F#5
they both turn black and blue
Ab5
   and all you want is a 
E5                 Eb5
reason you should live
C#5  B5              F#5
or a way for you to die
  E5              F#5
a way for you to die


(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge:
E5
  the grounds opening up
    Ab5            B5
i'm falling down below
           G5           F#5
an endless fall into a place 
             C#5
that i don't think a 
             E5
child should know
E5
  and i'm screaming out a 
name that could 
Ab5           B5
never pass my lips
    G5            F#5
the poison in my veins that 
C#/F               E   E---
got me through her kiss

Outro:
            C#5 
and now i'm too hung up on 
F#5           Eb5          Ab5
that to have anything with you
         E5            F#5
it's the poison in my veins
    E5            F#5
the poison in my veins
    E5            F#5
the poison in my veins 
            B(hold)
that got me through
