F
I'm never gonna give up
Dm
Remember what abuse did
A#
It's time you look at facing
As if you were in anyway understood
F
It always lowered me to downsize
Dm
It always lowered my faith
A#
But it's in the corner rising next to me
It's in the corner like it upstage

Chorus:
F                                Dm
I can't explain the way I feel inside
                            A#
(Maybe because it's) I'm through
(Yeah, you heard it so I) light you up
F                                       Dm
You can't admit your poison, go run and hide
                          A#
(Maybe because it's) Fuck you
(Yeah, you heard it so I) light you up

I said I wouldn’t fail you
It’s something sorry couldn’t sell you
A slow rain like a time bomb
It’s disconnected
Only reach’s what I’d done wrong

In no way is it worth
Losing everything I am including these words
Your heart in my hands
I'm sick as all my secrets that's why this hurts

Chorus

F
It put me in the crazy house
And it put me in the crazy farm
Dm
And I'm never gonna get back out
I'm never ever gonna treat you wrong
A#
Get down to the earth and the people
Get down to the earth in your bed
That's where I'm gonna go
And where I'll never go up in my motherfucking head
F
So tell your mom, tell your dad, tell your family
Dm
That I'm beyond the unreasonable sinking ship
A#
You see I never took the time
Never took the time, Never took the time
To learn all about these things you call
a relationship

Chorus
