F#maj7                 G#
We were tight, but it falls
                        F#maj7
apart as silver turns to blue
F#maj7         G#
Waxing with a candlelight,
                    F#maj7
and burning just for you
F#maj7          G#
Allocate your sentiment,
                 F#maj7
and stick it in a box
F#maj7             G#
I've never been an extrovert,

but I'm still breathing

Chorus:
C#                         Fm
Someone tried to do me ache
C#                         Fm
Someone tried to do me ache
C#                         Fm
Someone tried to do me ache
(it's what I'm afraid of)
C#                         Fm
Someone tried to do me ache
(it's what I'm afraid of)

With hindsight, I was more than blind,
lost without a clue
Thought I was getting carat gold,
and what I got was you
Stuck inside the circumstances,
lonely at the top
I've always been an introvert
Happily bleeding

Chorus

F#          C#                            F#
4 7 2 3 9 8 5 - I gotta breathe to stay alive
F#            C#                            F#
And 1 4 2 9 7 8 - feels like I'm gonna suffocate
F#    C#                                    F#
14 16 22 - this skin that turns to blister blue
                     C#             F#
Shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees
                     C#             F#
Shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees
                     C#             F#
Shoulder toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees
                     C#             F#
Shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees
                     C#             F#
Shoulder toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees
                     C#             F#
Shoulder toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees
