G#m
The night skys black and i'm
  E    D#m  C#m      B
awake lying on the ground
            F#/A#             E
the grass beneath my feet is hard
               F#                G#m
and cold just like i've come to be
the stars are gone behind the
E          D#m     C#m     B
clouds and i can't see a thing
             F#/A#
so i'll just let my eyes stay
  E                 F#
closed just like me i can't open up

Chorus:
B                          E
Cause i'm all wrong and i don't
       F#                 G#m
see a chance to fix this head
             B    E
so just give up write me
       F#
off pretend i don't exist

There's something in an empty bed
that makes it hard to close your eyes
It can eat at you until they both
turn black and blue
And all you want is a reason you should live
Or a way for you to die, a way for you to die

Chorus

E
the grounds opening up
     G#m            B
i'm falling down below
            G           F#
an endless fall into a place
              C#/F
that i don't think a
               E
child should know
E
and i'm screaming out a
name that could
G#m            B
never pass my lips
     G            F#
the poison in my veins that
C#/F                E
got me through her kiss

Chorus

            C#/F
and now i'm too hung up on
F#           D#/G          G#m
that to have anything with you
          E            F#
it's the poison in my veins
     E            F#
the poison in my veins
     E            F#
the poison in my veins
               B
that got me through
