Born cutting teeth on the curb

Grew from our feet

'Cause you don't believe what you don't see

When you watch me throwing punches at the devil

It just looks like I'm fighting with me

But there's a comfort in failure

Singing too loud in church

Screaming my fears into speakers

Whichever comes first

Tell me that I shouldn't blame myself

           F#m     A            D       Bm
But you can't even imagine how badly it hurts

        F#m   A      D
Just to think sometimes

      F#m   A      D       Bm
How I think almost all the time

(Oooh — Oooh)
[Bridge]
            D
So break me down

                  A
Fold it over your arms

Like an unloaded shotgun

               F#m
Dismantled and harmless

Even you couldn't manage to pull

                  Bm         A
The fuse from the back of my head
[Verse 5]
                     Bm
When you tell me you love me

            A
Tell me you loved me

  D                A
I wanted so bad to believe it

               Bm
So tell me you love me

            A
Tell me you loved me

D
I wanted so bad

  F#m              D
I wanted so bad to believe you
