Asus2       E/G#         B/D#
    So is it courage or strength
        F#m           F#sus2   F#m
and is that what I'm waiting for?
Asus2         E/G#         B/D#
    If I could just kill myself
         F#m    F#sus2   F#m
would it also kill the remorse?
Asus2          E/G#      B/D#
    I wanted so badly to catch a break
        F#m   F#sus2   F#m
but I'm only breaking down.
Asus2                 E/G#
    I'm still here and standing
            B/D#
but if it's up to me
    F#m  F#sus2   F#m           Asus2 E/G#           B/D#
I don't think        I'll be             hanging around


    Esus2
The drink slips down my throat
        E/G#
and the burn cures nice and slow.
        F#m                                 B/D#
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
                       Esus2
The only parts left of me

Now, here I am
       C#sus2
Just a kid without a better plan.
             E/G#                               F#m
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most.
  B/D#
I never got to see the west coast.

Asus2       E/G#                B/D#
    Spent my nights just asking why
       F#m   F#sus2  F#m  
Would God let me become like this.
Asus2       E/G#           B/D#
    Was it a joke from the start?
          F#m     F#sus2  F#m 
Was I supposed to laugh more at it?
Asus2             E/G#                        B/D#
    And everyone's quoting their teachers and preachers
           F#m          F#sus2   F#m
but their words make me feel so alone.
Asus2     E/G#~                   B/D#~
    No one ever says that they've had those thoughts
         F#m   F#sus2  F#m
in the middle of the night.
Absus2~     E/G#~                   B/D#~
    No one ever admits that they wanted to take their life.


      Esus2
The drink slips down my throat
         E/G#
and the burn cures nice and slow.
         F#m                                 B/D#
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
                       Esus2
The only parts left of me

Now, here I am
        C#sus2
Just a kid without a better plan.
             E/G#                               F#m
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most.
    B/D#
I never got to see the west coast.


Repeat Interlude

             C#sus2*
But it's the life I dreamed I have
     Ab/C
The love I find in my grasp
     Abm/B                        F#/Bb
The words I could share with someone.
        C#sus2*
Those thoughts keep the breath in my lungs
       Ab/C
That tomorrow my hope will become
   Abm/B                            F#/Bb
fulfilled by a love that can't be undone.
    Asus2    E/G#         B/D#
And save    a wretch like me.

Chorus
          Esus2
So if the drink slips down your throat
        E/G#
and the burn cures nice and slow.
         F#m                                  B/D#   
All the worst parts you wouldn't want me to see.
                          Esus2
The same parts, I have in me
                          C#sus2
Now, scares me too we are both this way.
                    E/G#
I feel just like you do.
                                        F#m
But when you're by yourself you should know
    B/D#
One day we got to see the west coast.
