[Verse 1]
C         F         Am      F
  Never said I was innocent

C                F           Am             F
I will burn in hell for the things I've done to you

C           F       Am        F
  Never said I was anything good

C                                                 G
  I should die from the shame from what I put you through
[Chorus]
              F                             C
Let me be the one to bring us back from the dead

                Am                   G
I will take the blame for everything

                F                   C
You know I just want to help you forget
[Post-Chorus] (C) F Am F
C  F          Am F

[Verse 2]
C                   F       Am        F
  We are still living on broken glass

   C              F            Am          F
We are still numb because it just keeps happening

C                   F          Am        F
  All your friends, they can kiss my ass

C
  They only see the simple things that they want to see
[Chorus]
G               F                        C
  Let me be the one to make the pain go away

         Am                        G
Shave my skin and show a brand new face

                F                         C
You know I just want to know that you're ok
[Post-Chorus]
(C) F     Am F
     Yeah

C
You don't have to like it but the swing is in my hands now
[Bridge]
G5         A5
  Sometimes I think

D5              F5
   The power is better than a hard drug

G5          A5
   Sometimes I think

D5              F5
   The power is better than anything

G5          A5
   Sometimes I think

D5               F5
   Letting go is just like giving up

G5                 A5                    D5
   Sometimes all I think I want to do is die inside

F5
All I want to do is die inside

(F5)
All I ever think about is you and me falling apart

C   F     Am  F
     Yeah      Oh  x4

I will burn in hell for the things I've done to you

I just want to help you forget

Sometimes all I think about is falling apart
