Intro: Woman speaking

Then
Bm--G--D--A-- x2
Bm--G--D--A-F#


Verse 1:
I never thought the 
Bm
day would come when I
                    G
Would be the poison in
the pen I use to write
    D
You said you were alone in 
              A           [ch]F#/Bb[/ch]
somewhat of a nervous tone
                   G
I guess it was the blank
look on your face that
    Bm        A
was easy to replace


Chorus 1:
   D
So then I went and drank
                  A
myself into an idiot
all through the night
  [ch]F#/Bb[/ch]
Recounting all my
Bm           A
paranoid and selfish
             G     A    F#
thoughts but I was right


Post Chorus: Bm--F#(hold)


Verse 2:
I made a space for 
Bm
you inside my soul
                    G
And let my feelings kill
the part that I control
   D
So part of you was me
                 A
neglectful maybe cold
         [ch]F#/Bb[/ch]
it seemed     Despite
           G
having the wounds we
both imbibe the scars are
Bm                 A
somewhere we can't hide


Chorus 2:
  D
I then stayed up for two

more years just thinking
       A
of the sacrifice you made
  [ch]F#/Bb[/ch]            Bm
Indifferent to the reason
     A             G   D/F# Em
so apparent in the pain
  D
I polished off another
drink and taught myself
   F#m
to numb and drift away
             G
For one more night so
        A           Bm F#
I could justify the day


Bridge:
   G          A
So now I entertain
the thought of
[ch]F#/Bb[/ch]         Bm
going on all alone
    E
But you are all the
               A    G D/F# Em
life I've ever known


Chorus 3:
  D
I swear one day I'll get
it back something that
     A
is already dead and gone
 [ch]F#/Bb[/ch]          Bm
Again i see the trumpet
       A
player looking for his
G   G D/F# Em      D
song         Don't worry
I won't follow you that part
         F#m
of me is learning to let got
            G
What was a space is like
  A            Bm  Bm-Bm(hold)
a cancer in my soul
