intro-G,Em,C,G,Em,C,G
G
I am waiting 'til there's nothing left 
I'm a prayer, all you see is breath
    Em            C                    G 
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
     Em            C                  G
I am realize, I am shame, I choose to stay here 

Em                 C
You got a sign, so I pay a ransom 

G               D
You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come 

Em                    C  
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm 

   D
My arm 
Pre verse-G,Em,C,G,Em,C,G
G
There's a song I love so much I stole 
Every precious note I took, I sold
      Em                      C                    G
Now I spit out words.  Do you see my lungs on the dancefloor?

G
To a hopeless cause, I sold my soul      

                                         Em
A romantic plastic piece of shit you can mold 

        C                   G
Until I break into chokable pieces 

Em                 C  
You got a sign, so I pay a ransom

G               D 
You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come

Em                    C
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm

D 
My arm
Solo-G,Em,C,G,Em,C
Em                     C
And I open up like the back of a book 

G                      D
I ruin everything with just a quick look

Em                   C
I settle down like a rocket explodes

G                       D 
Hit the ground, but how far out who knows

Em                 C
You got a sign, so I pay a ransom

G                   D 
You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come

Em                    C                          D
Had a nice grip on my life untill you twisted my arm 
my arm end on G
