Chords

[Verse 1]
                       Em
A perfect picture of embarrassment

             C
steadying my shaking hands

                 G
wrapped around a glass again

                  D
and look at me now

                   Em
I am choking on my medicine

                       C
those same pills by my fathers bed

                G
now I need them too

                    D                            Em
come to think of it I can’t think of anyone that doesn’t use
[Pre-Chorus]
                         C
There’s something in the water

                              G
something swimming in my drink

                        D
There is plastic in our oceans

                       Em
There is plastic in my dreams

                   C
I’m a fading belle in the harshest light

G
clawing at the sky

D                           Em
as all your stars hang over me tonight
[Chorus]
               C              G
Yeah it was an honest mistake

               D                    Em
to love you in such an ugly kind of way

               C              G
Yeah it was an honest mistake

                   D                    C
to believe a single word that you’d say
[Verse 2]
                                  Em
I wish you’d deal your words more carefully

                       C
can’t you see that i’m down and out

                  G
I appreciate your honesty

                      D                            Em
but my whole world is fingernails clinging to your balcony

                         C                G
I wish your words didn’t hurt but they do

                         D                       Em
I wish I wasn’t quite so frightened of the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
                         C
There’s something in the water

                              G
something swimming in my drink

                        D
There is plastic in our oceans

                       Em
There is plastic in my dreams

                   C
I’m a fading belle in the harshest light

G
clawing at the sky

D                           Em
as all your stars hang over me tonight
[Chorus]
               C              G
Yeah it was an honest mistake

               D                    Em
to love you in such an ugly kind of way

               C              G
Yeah it was an honest mistake

                   D                    C
to believe a single word that you’d say
[Bridge]
              G
It's a crying shame

                      D
with no words left to say

                       Em                       C
we’ve been looking for anything to lead us back

                      G
But you can’t hear my side

                  D
I can’t read your mind

                     Em
I’m clinging on to a memory

                      C
if that’s all that we have

                        G
Then that’s a hell of a waste

                D
as we fall from grace

            Em
all tangled up in honest mistakes
[Instrumental] C G D Em C G D Em C G D Em C G D D [Chorus]
Em             C              G
Yeah it was an honest mistake

               D                    Em
to love you in such an ugly kind of way

               C              G
Yeah it was an honest mistake

                   D                Em
to believe a single word that you’d say
[Outro]
               C              G
Yeah it was an honest mistake

               D                    Em
to love you in such an ugly kind of way
