C#m                                       G#
How dare you say that my behavior is unacceptable
C#m                              G#
So condescending unnecessarily critical
C#m                                  G#
I have the tendency of getting very physical
C#m
So watch your step 'cause if
                    G#
I do you'll need a miracle

You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here
This Double Vision I was seeing is finally clear
You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone
Not fit to fuckin' tread the ground that I'm walking on

Chorus:
C#m           G#                  Bm             F#
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
C#m                      G#
You'll understand what I mean when
                  Bm                  F#
I say there's no way we're gonna give up
C#m                     G#
And like a little girl cries in the face of
   Bm                         F#
a monster that lives in her dreams
C#m
Is there anyone out there 'cause it's
         G#                   C#m
getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there 'cause it's
getting harder and harder to breathe

What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head
You should know better, you never listened to a word I said
Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat
Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did

Chorus

        C#m
Does it kill? Does it burn?
Is it painful to learn that
it's me that has all the control?
Does it thrill? Does it sting?
When you feel what I bring
And you wish that you had me to hold

Chorus

Is there anyone out there 'cause it's
getting harder and harder to breathe
