          F#m          A
There's a voice in my head
         D               E
telling me why I should hate
         F#m        A       D   E
you But I   hate myself instead
          F#m          A
There's a pair of dead eyes
        D              E
in the mirror looking back
       F#m            A
at me I   guess its wrong
         D  E    D         E
to live life so lifelessly

Chorus:
F#m       E/G#
Scars are tearing open
A         D
along my palms and knees
F#m            E
I guess thats what I
          Bm              D
should get  for crawling back
            F#m
at your feet   And now
    E/G#           A
I'm feeling so down that
         D
there's no God above
F#m     E           Bm
And No mercy for a soul
             D            F#m A D F#m A D
that's just way too fucked up

There's a pain in my chest
growing stronger with every heartbeat
Now there's nothing left of me
But empty bottles of pills and Bacardi
Yes, I guess it's wrong to live right

Chorus:
Scars are tearing open along
my palms and knees
I guess that's what I should
get for crawling back at your feet
And now I'm feeling so down,
that there's no God above
No mercy for a soul

D     F#m
Leave me
A       C#
here to die
D      E
Leave me
F#m  Bm C#
here to die

Chorus:
Scars are tearing open along my palms and knees
I guess that's what I should get
for crawling back at your feet
And now I'm feeling so down,
that there's no God above
No mercy for a soul that's just way too fucked up
