Some of the changes happen on the 4+ beat, but will for simplicity's sake be denoted in the next bar. The D6add11* in the | D6 D6add11* D6add11 | bar is really only a transition chord. [Intro] | G | Gsus4 G | D6add11* | D6 D6add11* D6add11 | Cmaj7 | Cadd9 | [Verse]
G                       Gsus4
  If it makes you less sad,

       G           D6add11*
I will die by your hand.

                           D6
Hope you find out what you are;

        D6add11* D6add11 Cmaj7  Cadd9
already know     what I  am.

G                           Gsus4
  And if it makes you less sad,

         G            D6add11*
We'll start talking again.

                    D6
You can tell me how vile

          D6add11* D6add11 Cmaj7  Cadd9
I already know     that I  am.

G            Gsus4
  I'll grow old,

      G         D6add11*
start acting my age.

                       D6
It'll be a brand new day

   D6add11* D6add11   Cmaj7 Cadd9
in a        life that you    hate.

G            Gsus4
  A crown of gold

               G            D6add11*
a heart that's harder than stone

                     D6
And it hurts to hold on,

    D6add11* D6add11     Cmaj7 Cadd9
But it's     missed when it's  gone.
[Chorus]
G*               Dadd11
  Call me a safe bet,

                N.C. Cmaj7  Cadd9
I'm betting I'm not

G*                         Dadd11
  I'm glad that you can forgive, 

               Cmaj7
only hoping as time goes,
you can forget. [Instrumental] | N.C. G | Gsus4 G5 | D6add11* | D6 D6add11* D6add11 | N.C. Cmaj7 | Cadd9 | [Verse]
G                       Gsus4
  If it makes you less sad,

          G            D6add11*
I'll move out of this state.

                     D6
You can keep to yourself,

     D6add11* D6add11     Cmaj7  Cadd9
I'll keep     out of your way.

G                           Gsus4
  And if it makes you less sad,

               G            D6add11*
I'll take your pictures all down.

                   D6
Every picture you paint,

       D6add11* D6add11 Cmaj7  Cadd9
I will paint    myself  out.

G                   Gsus4
  It's as cold as a tomb,

         G            D6add11*
And it's dark in your room,

                     D6
When I sneak to your bed

        D6add11* D6add11 Cmaj7  Cadd9
to pour salt     in yo-------ur wounds.

G               Gsus4
  So call it quits,

   G     D6add11*
or get a grip.

                        D6
You say you wanted a solution,

    D6add11* D6add11   Cmaj7 Cadd9
you just     wanted to be    missed.
[Chorus]
G*               Dadd11
  Call me a safe bet,

                N.C. Cmaj7  Cadd9
I'm betting I'm not

G*                         Dadd11
  I'm glad that you can forgive, 

               Cmaj7
only hoping as time goes,
you can forget.
N.C. G     Gsus4  G5              D6add11*
                    so you can forget,

D6 D6add11* D6add11    Cmaj7  Cadd9
            you can forget.
[Bridge]
G                     Gsus4
  You are calm and reposed.

         G5       D6add11*
Let your beauty unfold
Pale white like the skin
  D6        D6add11* D6add11 Cmaj7
Stretched over       your    bones.

                      Cadd9
Spring keeps you ever close

                     G
You are second-hand smoke.

                       Gsus4
You are so fragile and thin.

         G5             D6add11*
Standing trial for your sins.

                  D6 
Holding on to yourself

D6add11* D6add11  Cmaj7
The      best you can.

                         Cadd9
You are the smell before rain.

                        (G*)
You are the blood in my veins.
[Outro]
G*               D6add11*
  Call me a safe bet.

                Cadd9
I'm betting I'm not.

G*                      D6add11*
  I'm glad that you can forgive,

                    Cmaj7
only hoping as time goes

                 G
That you can forget.
