  A                   C#m D
What are you waitin' for?
A                C#m D
I can't take anymore
     A                  C#m D
You make me sick to my core
          G             E
And I've never felt so sure
  A                 C#m  D
What do you really need?
      A                      C#m D
I've seen your heart still bleed
A             C#m D
Every time I leave
  G                         E
There's nothin' else I can see
             G                    D
No, there's nothin' else I can believe

  A           E/G#   F#m
Please don't make me out to be
Bm                  E
Somethin' that I'm not
A           E/G#    F#m
I tried to give you everything
Bm                 E
But so much went wrong

Chorus:
           C#m
I'm not a villain (Villain)
           G                        E
I'm not a bad guy with the master plan
           C#m
I'm not a monster (Monster)
          G                    D
So don't say my name when you mention them

We both know that's a stretch
Perfection ain't real, how close can we get?
Fall short and miss by an inch
Love is a battle where nobody wins
Missiles fire back and forth
No one's innocent fighting a war
Everybody plays their part
We both screwed up from the start
We both shot holes in each other's hearts

Please don't make me out to be
Something that I'm not
I tried to give you everything
But so much went wrong

Chorus
