Tom: C
G Am
trying is just a slippery slope to sadness
C
which is a slippery slope to madness
Em C
which is a hollywood word for how i exist and work i guess
G Am
and love is just another word for obnoxious
C
which is to say i am loveless
Em C
maybe thats why i am scared of you and what you do
[Chorus]
G
when you like me enough to make me feel like im good
Am
when you love me i think maybe i could love too
C
i always thought i might be bad now i know that its true
Em C
cus i think you’re so good and im nothing like you
G
and you took me apart like a ball jointed doll
Am
put a heart where i used to be just ribs with a skull
C
now i hurt when you leave is that better than before
Em C
now i just want you to love me more and more and more
and more and more and more and more and more and more
[Verse 2]
G Am
kill me use me for what is my purpose
C
choke me until i turn purple
Em C
instead of your mild and self sacrificing humanising
G Am
my love is closer to something thats toxic
C
than love that is just something lovely
Em C
which is why i dont kiss cus i can taste myself on them
[Chorus]
G
can you love me again if im a horrible friend?
Am
if i push you away to make more room for myself?
C
if im broken and hurting and stuck in a loop?
Em C
always saying the same things embarrassing you?
G
can you break me until i am broken enough
Am
to pathetically think that i understand love
C
its all a mental decoy im a broken toy
Em C
mistaking attention for joy
[Verse 3]
G Am
bleeding is maybe something to do with competing
C
just a proof that our bodies are fleeting
Em C
living life to the fullest has always been the weirdest thing
G Am
and love has always caused nothing but problems
C
if u see my exes please tell them
Em C
that pain is a virtue still nothing really quite compares
Em C Em C
to how you sometimes dye my hair and love me even when im sick
Em C
i know i dont deserve it
[end]
G Am
trying is just a slippery slope to surviving
C
and thats why im writing and writing
Em C
never quite finishing any songs so i write more and more and more
and more and more and more and more
G
and more and more and more and more
Am
and more and more and more and more
C
and more and more and more and more
Em C
and more and more and more and more
