[Intro] | G#m B | G#m B | G#m B | F# | [Verse 1]
   G#m                          B
I cannot believe what you get away with

          G#m                B
You find beauty in anything

    G#m                        B
Whenever you look down into a sewer

F#
 You see a diamond ring

   G#m                       B
It isn't fair how you never look like you're trying

   G#m                           B
As if you couldn't care any less

G#m                       B
 And I'm here, kicking myself to keep from crying

F#
 You say you're impressed
[Chorus]
                E         B
But this isn't helping at all

                  E                B
It only makes me wanna get further off

            E         B
This isn't helping at all

            F#
This isn't helping
[Verse 2]
     G#m                           B
You say that this doesn't have to hurt

         G#m                    B
You're there if you need to be found

G#m                       B
 Can't you see that that makes it so much worse?

F#
 I'll always see you around

 G#m                       B
Maybe in time, we can give it one morе try

            G#m                         B
But let's think about what matters now

      G#m                            B
Keep kicking yourself to keep from crying

F#
 That, you'rе so right about
[Chorus]
                   E         B
'Cause this isn't helping at all

                       E                      B
I know you think it's kindness, but it's not

            E         B
This isn't helping at all

            F#
This isn't helping
[Bridge]
               C#m                 G#m
Don't say that it's all your fault

               C#m                    G#m
I know you're banking on it coming up

                C#m            G#m
But would your life be so bad

            F#
If you knew every single thought I had?

               C#m                G#m
'Cause I only have two things to say to you

         C#m                 G#m
But you say two things about everything, babe

C#m                  G#m
 Well, just when I thought

                F#
You don't even notice me at all
[Chorus]
                   E         B
'Cause this isn't helping at all

                  E                B
It only makes me wanna get further off

            E         B
This isn't helping at all

            F#
This isn't helping

            E         B
This isn't helping at all

                       E                      B
I know you think it's kindness, but it's not

            E         B
This isn't helping at all

            F#
This isn't helping
