A5
It's time I said this
                                                 F#5
But I'm so choked up and I need my sanity
       D5                                E5                             A5
I'm scared, believe me, you can see me smile if you let me just stick around.

A5
Well this is bye-bye baby
                                     F#5
It isn't like a sudden stop on a freight train
     D5                               E5                             A5
If you're not happy and you hurt this much, then let me just stick around.

                  D5                                          E5
But can I have one second of your time?
                                       D5
If I don't it'll drive me crazy.
                                                    E5
As I drop to my knees and scream ,
I hate you more than you could know.

A5     
I hope you fall into the ocean
E5                                                  E5                                F#5
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
                                      E5             D5              E5
As the waves crash over you until you drown. 
(And fall away..)
A5
And hold a funeral for nothing
E5                                            E5                               F#5
And celebrate how empty love can be broken
                      E5                      D5                 E5                   A5
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground

A5
Now it's back to reality 
                                              F#5
I'm up in shambles but I guess that's how I should be
                                                          D5                               E5
I knew the wedding bells were ringing well, but my bride was missing.

                                     A5
It's not supposed to hurt this much
                                                   F#5
But when someone slowly breaks it off
                                            D5                           E5                  A5
It tends to leave a bitter taste, a scar, that slowly rips apart.

               D5                                         E5
Could I have one second of your time?
                                       D5
If I don't, it'll drive me crazy.
                                                    E5
As I drop to my knees and scream , 
I hate you more than you could know.


A5     
I hope you fall into the ocean
E5                                                  E5                                F#5
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
                                      E5             D5              E5
As the waves crash over you until you drown. 
(And fall away..)
A5
And hold a funeral for nothing
E5                                            E5                               F#5
And celebrate how empty love can be broken
                      E5                      D5                 E5                   A5
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground

F#5  D5
               F#5    D5
Underground..

F#5
I've had enough, but it's all for the best.
E5
I need to get a few things off my chest.
C#5   
There's got to be another way I can say it,
           D5                 E5
But to get it right, I have to think straight.
F#5
Hope he tastes like the way I used to taste.
E5                                                                  C#5
I can't believe I'd even say this to you now.
             D5              E5           A5
When you won't listen at all.

A5     
I hope you fall into the ocean
E5                                                  E5                                F#5
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
                                      E5                     D5              E5
As the waves crash over you and over you until you drown. 
A5
And hold a funeral for nothing
E5                                            E5                               F#5
And celebrate how empty love can be broken
                      E5                      D5                 E5                  
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground
F#5             E5                       D5                D5                 A5
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground.
