Chords

If you're a stickler for accuracy, this is probably not for you. I play a couple hundred songs from memory, so I prefer simple vocal support chords. This one works for me.
Am                G                 D
Well, it's not fair, it's not even close

Am           G           Am                                  G
You tied me down, where I'm forced to watch as you poke holes

G      D         Am G
In every part of me containing something secretly

D         Am         G
Something sacred to me

G                  D               Am               G
I lied my face off when I said that I would be okay

D                        Am
It's never fine when you go away

G                    D               Am                        G
These cuts run deep, these scars are permanent and always on display

D                          Am
This makes things difficult for me

Am          G                  D
It's not fair, it's not even close

Am             G    Am                                      G
You fed me the sun, burned me up inside and watched me choke

G       C     Am      G
On everything we did, on everything we lived

D            Am             G
Let's see if I can live again

G                  D               Am              G
I lied my face off when I said that I would be okay

D                        Am
It's never fine when you go away

G                    D               Am                        D
These cuts run deep, these scars are permanent and always on display

D                          Am
This makes things difficult for me

Am        G  D                   Am      G D
Head like an empty sterile room, somehow I made a mess

Am         G  D                    Am   G     D
Like watching newborn babies crack from work-related stress

Am        G  D                   Am      G D
Head like an empty sterile room, somehow I made a mess

Am          G D                    Am   G    D
Like watching newborn babies crack from work-related stress

G       D     Am    E
I'm bad luck, can't fuck

G       C     Am    E
Got no reflection today

G       C     Am    E
Maybe I'll stay down

G       C     Am    E        D
Next time I get hit by a train

G                  D                Am             G
I lied my face off when I said that I would be okay

D                        Am
It's never fine when you go away
