Intro: C#m--A-- x4


Verse 1:
         C#m
Well I'm hurting
    A
For someone else 
   C#m
to feel this pain
E       A       G#m
Are you hurting too?
             F#m A
I'm desperate
   C#m
So desperate
      C#m
But I won't get
   A
my hopes up
     C#m
I'll just get all 
   E
my ropes taught
A     G#m
After all
         F#m
I'm only here 
   A    C#m
to disappoint


Chorus 1:
     A
I am truly only
B            C#m
here to disappoint
     A
Like all good 
B          G#m     C#m
dreams you wind up dead
          A    B
All those promises 
  G#m   C#m
I never kept
  A         B
I laugh and you 
     G#m  C#m
will cry again
And again and
again and again
C#m      A      B
   These simple things 
  G#m        C#m
I just can't say
  A        B
Remove the you 
     G#m     C#m
from you and me
   A       B
I stand to bring
    G#m     C#m
you to your knees
again and again and again


Post Chorus: C#m--A-- x4


Verse 2:
        C#m
And I'm crying
    A
For someone 
   C#m
to show me
E      A
  Real tears
     G#m
I've tasted them
     F#m    A
I've wasted them
   C#m
So many empty years
        C#m
Now I'm dying
        A
just to give you
  C#m        E    A
A body I can give to
G#m             F#m
Something I can be 
  A          C#m
a part of forever


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Bridge:
F#m   A
   Distorted is 
   E
my silhouette
F#m A
    Tainted starved
    C#m
and desperate
F#m
There's no easy 
A
fix for this
     F#m         A
That I cannot control
    G#m
I'm breaking
 B
Apart at the soul


Chorus 2:
C#m     A
   Like all good 
B          G#m     C#m
dreams you wind up dead
          A    B
All those promises 
  G#m   C#m
I never kept
  A         B
I laugh and you 
     G#m  C#m
will cry again
And again and
again and again
C#m      A      B
   These simple things 
  G#m        C#m
I just can't say
  A        B
Remove the you 
     G#m     C#m
from you and me
   A       B
I stand to bring
    G#m     C#m
you to your knees
again and again and again
