[Verse 1]
  C                        
I wake up with the same pain every night

Am         F         C         G
Digging a hatchet into my left side

C          
Clearing my chest of something to burn

Am        F          C       G            F
Ash for a decorative urn you keep in your mantelpiece;

       F                       C         
Like a trophy for everything

     C        Em          C  Em
That withers eventually
[Bridge]
Am          G                C          F  
Call me a coward, but I'm too scared to leave

      Am          G                C          F  
'cause I want you to be the last thing I see, oh come on

Am          G                C          F  
Call me a coward, but I'm too scared to leave

            Am      G             C            F
Watched you pouring lighter fluid out onto the leaves
[Chorus]
  C                              C     
And I would've loved you with the dying fire

                   Em           
Let you smother me down to the embers

                     Am       F        C          G       F
Frostbite turning my limbs as black as cinder of funeral pyre

    C          
And I would have stayed if you asked me to

                      Em
Stood outside till my lips turn blue

  Em                   
I wouldn't have blamed you

    Am         F             C              G         F     
For leaving me there on the porch while you drank gasoline

F           
'cause it's what you needed so bad
[Outro]
         C     
And it's true

                  Em          Am  F  C  G  F 
It's nothing that we could do
