             Dm
What did you just say
                         Am
No I heard you right the first time
I heard you right the first time
                  Dm
Are you trying to hurt me
                             Am
You know you're supposed to lie
When the truth is so unkind

C                             F
It's like I'm looking right through you

Chorus:
         Am
There's nothing on your skeleton
Your heart is gone
                        F
You're acting like it doesn't even matter
     Dm
Like I don't even matter
    Am
The way it was the rush of blood
You gave it all up
                        F
You're acting like it doesn't even matter
     Dm
Like I don't even matter

I’m not gonna fight you
’Cause I don’t wanna win
And live through this again
I’m not gonna love you
I don’t know where to begin
I don’t know where to begin

It’s like I’m looking right through you

Chorus

Dm
Where will you go
Who will you be
                                F G
Who will you hurt (doesn't even matter)
Dm
Up in the clouds
You're gonna fall
                                F G
Down in the dirt (doesn't even matter)
Dm
Take what you want
Take it from me
                              F G
Give it to her (doesn't even matter)
Dm
There's nothing of us
Nothing at all
                Em
It's not gonna work
I'm not gonna love you

Chorus:
Nothing on your skeleton
Your heart is gone
Acting like it doesn’t even matter
Like I don’t even matter
The way it works
The rush of blood
You gave it all up
Acting like it doesn’t even matter
Like I don’t even matter

There’s nothing on your skeleton
My heart is gone
Acting like it doesn’t even matter
Like I don’t even matter
The way it works
The rush of blood
You gave it all up
Acting like it doesn’t even matter
Like I don’t even matter
