A2It's (x02420@1)time I said this
                                                 F#mBut (244222@1)I'm so choked up and I need my sanity
       D2 (x43141@2)                              E (022100@1)                           A2I'm (x02420@1)scared, believe me, you can see me smile if you let me just stick around.

A2Well (x02420@1)this is bye-bye baby
                                     F#mIt (244222@1)isn't like a sudden stop on a freight train
     D2 (x43141@2)                             E (022100@1)                           A2If (x02420@1)you're not happy and you hurt this much, then let me just stick around.

D2 (x43141@2)                                        EBut (022100@1)can I have one second of your time?
                                       D2If (x43141@2)I don't it'll drive me crazy.
                                                    EAs (022100@1)I drop to my knees and scream,
I hate you more than you could know.

A2 (x02420@1)   
I hope you fall into the ocean
E (022100@1)                                                E/F                                F#mAnd (244222@1)the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
                                      E (022100@1)           D2 (x43141@2)            EAs (022100@1)the waves crash over you until you drown. 
(And fall away..)
A2And (x02420@1)hold a funeral for nothing
E (022100@1)                                          E/F                               F#mAnd (244222@1)celebrate how empty love can be broken
                      E (022100@1)                    D2 (x43141@2)               E (022100@1)                 A2It (x02420@1)takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground

A2Now (x02420@1)it's back to reality 
                                              F#mI'm (244222@1)up in shambles but I guess that's how I should be
                                                          D2 (x43141@2)                             EI (022100@1)knew the wedding bells were ringing well, but my bride was missing.

A2It's (x02420@1)not supposed to hurt this much
                                                   F#mBut (244222@1)when someone slowly breaks it off
                                            D2 (x43141@2)                         E (022100@1)                A2It (x02420@1)tends to leave a bitter taste, a scar, that slowly rips apart.

D2 (x43141@2)                                       ECould (022100@1)I have one second of your time?
                                       D2If (x43141@2)I don't, it'll drive me crazy.
                                                    EAs (022100@1)I drop to my knees and scream, 
I hate you more than you could know.

A2 (x02420@1)   
I hope you fall into the ocean
E (022100@1)                                                E/F                                F#mAnd (244222@1)the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
                                      E (022100@1)           D2 (x43141@2)            EAs (022100@1)the waves crash over you until you drown. 
(And fall away..)
A2And (x02420@1)hold a funeral for nothing
E (022100@1)                                          E/F                               F#mAnd (244222@1)celebrate how empty love can be broken
                      E (022100@1)                    D2 (x43141@2)               E (022100@1)                 A2It (x02420@1)takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground

F#m  D2
               F#m (244222@1)  D2Underground.. (x43141@2)
F#mI've (244222@1)had enough, but it's all for the best.
EI (022100@1)need to get a few things off my chest.
C#m (x13321@4) 
There's got to be another way I can say it,
           D2 (x43141@2)               EBut (022100@1)to get it right, I have to think straight.
F#mHope (244222@1)he tastes like the way I used to taste.
E (022100@1)                                                                C#mI (x13321@4)can't believe I'd even say this to you now.
             D2 (x43141@2)            E (022100@1)         A2When (x02420@1)you won't listen at all.

A2 (x02420@1)   
I hope you fall into the ocean
E (022100@1)                                                E/F                                F#mAnd (244222@1)the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
                                      E (022100@1)                   D2 (x43141@2)            EAs (022100@1)the waves crash over you and over you until you drown. 
A2And (x02420@1)hold a funeral for nothing
E (022100@1)                                          E/F                               F#mAnd (244222@1)celebrate how empty love can be broken

It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground
