C#
Sit still in the
A#m
cold of February
        G#
Hold my hand in
the cemetery and
       F#
you'll be safe
  C#
I know that this
   A#m
is only temporary
      G#
And I don't think
that it's helping
   F#
anything

     C#/F
It's all fun
    F#
and games until
C#
someone gets
fucked up This
C#/F        F#
will end in tears
        C#
I could never be
           C#/F
enough for you
         F#
Count my blessings
       C#
on one hand and my
              C#/F
curses on the other
         F#
Let you slip between
   C#
my fingers hide
away until the summer

Chorus:
C#
Kali Ma lean over me
F#
rip your hand into
              D#m
my chest Pull out my
beating heart for
             F#
the world to see
             A#m
Then send me down
   G#         C#
to hell You ignore
              F#
my please Indiana
couldn't save me
     D#m
So I guess I'll
       F#  A#m G#
save myself

We hopped from bench to bench in
the middle of our town
Where the streetlights hit your
eyes and then the tears came falling down
The love that you confessed,
a product of your loneliness
I see right through you,
but what do I do?

            A#m
Of course I fall
    F#
for it just like
  C#
I did when I was
G#        A#m
16 Such a fool
    F#
for you did you
C#        C#
ever even miss
me? Doubt it

Chorus

C#
Kali Ma lean over me
F#
rip your hand into
              D#m
my chest Pull out my
beating heart for
             F#
the world to see
or won't you
A#m G# C#  C# F#
go  to hell

A#m     F#
You're gonna get
killed chasing
C#
after your damn
               A#m
fortune and glory
      F#      C#
Maybe I maybe I
               C# F# C# C#
will But not today
