[Intro] G#m B C# G#m B C# [Verse 1]

G#m                        B
 in a world that's full of hope

    C#    G#m
why am I alone?

                    B
had this feeling so long

     C#        G#m
my serotonin's gone

                B
even when I get high

       C#        G#m
why do I feel so low?

                  B       C#
never good at goodbyes, I hold on..

  E
I hate the man

  F#               G#m
I see when I see myself

                D#
a reflection of hell..

[Chorus]

  G#m
I told myself it’s different

     B
it’s so hard to believe

  E
I know that I won’t change so

  F#
I sold another dream..

        G#m
all the lives I told

    B               E
are burning holes inside..

      D#m                 E
and I don’t, I don’t know why..

          D#
I broke a promise to myself..

[Verse 2]

G#m               B
 as I stand here again

    C#         G#m
all covered in mud

                       B
and I’m drenched in my sins

     C#       G#m
what have I become?

           B
I said the last time

     C#          G#m
that would be my last time

                B       C#
not good at goodbyes, I hold on

E
If I jumped off this

C#m                      G#m
ledge would you catch my fall?

                  D#
would you care at all?

[Chorus]

  G#m
I told myself it’s different

     B
it’s so hard to believe

  E
I know that I won’t change so

  F#
I sold another dream..

        G#m
all the lives I told

    B               E
are burning holes inside..

      D#m                 E
and I don’t, I don’t know why..

          D#
I broke a promise to myself..

[Bridge]

E                  C#m
 all the stages of shaken

                        G#m
all the roads that I’ve taken

wondering if I can really make it

F#
feeling so depressed

I’ve been humbled and humiliated..

E                      C#m
 all the truth I’ve mistaken

                         G#m
for the things I thought saved me

It’s like nobody knows

   D#
at any given second

I feel like I might explode.. [Chorus]

  G#m
I told myself it’s different

     B            C#
it’s so hard to believe

  G#m
I know that I won’t change so

  B
I sold another dream..

        G#m
all the lives I told

    B               E
are burning holes inside..

      F#                  G#m B E
and I don’t, I don’t know why..

      D#                  E
and I don’t, I don’t know why..

          D#
