Chorus:
            Em
This is the first
(thing I remember)
              C
Now it's the last
(thing left on my mind)
               G
Afraid of the dark
(do you hear me whisper)
         Am
An empty heart
               D/F#
(replaced with paranoia)
            Em
Where do we go
(life's temporary)
             C
After we're gone
(like new years resolutions)
             G
Why is this hard
(do you recognize me)
           Am
I know I'm wrong
             D/F#
(but I can't help believing)

Em
I'm so lost
C
I'm barely here
G
I wish I could
  Am
explain myself
    D/F#
But words escape me
Em
It's too late
C
To save me
G
You're too late
You're too late

Bm
You're cold with
     C
disappointment
While I'm drowning
        G
in the next room
                    Am
The last contagious victim
          C
of this plague between us
Bm                  C
I'm sick with apprehension
                    G
I'm crippled from exhaustion
                        Am
And I dread the moment when
             C
you finally come to kill me

Chorus
