G5 
I am waiting 'til there's nothing left  

I'm a prayer  all you see is breath 
    E5            C5                    G5  
I am empty  I am skin and bones  I'm a ribcage  

Well  I'm out the door with apathy  

And I'm coming home with sympathy  
     E5            C5                  G5 
I am realize  I am shame  I choose to stay here  
E5                 C5 
You got a sign  so I pay a ransom  
G5               D5 
You felt sorry  so I felt a wrath come  
E5                    C5   
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm  
   D5 
My arm  
 
Pre verse-
G5 E5 C5 G5 E5 C5 G5 
 
G5 
There's a song I love so much I stole  

Every precious note I took  I sold  
      E5                      C5                    G5 
Now I spit out words.  Do you see my lungs on the dancefloor? 
G5 
To a hopeless cause  I sold my soul       
                                         E5 
A romantic plastic piece of shit you can mold  
        C5                   G5 
Until I break into chokable pieces  
E5                 C5   
You got a sign  so I pay a ransom 
G5               D5  
You felt sorry  so I felt a wrath come 
E5                    C5 
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm 
D5  
My arm 
 
Solo-
G5 E5 C5 G5 E5 C5  
 
E5                     C5 
And I open up like the back of a book  
G5                      D5 
I ruin everything with just a quick look 
E5                   C5 
I settle down like a rocket explodes 
G5                       D5  
Hit the ground  but how far out who knows 
E5                 C5 
You got a sign  so I pay a ransom 
G5                   D5  
You felt sorry  so I felt a wrath come 
E5                    C5                          D5 
Had a nice grip on my life untill you twisted my arm  
        
my arm  
end on G5
