     G                     D
Wet paper on my doorstep, rainin' all night
     Am             Em
It's okay, I don't wanna read it anyway
 G                   D               Am       Em
Turn the TV just to hear the voices talkin', maybe

 G           D
Sofa's so uncomfortable
        Am               Em          G
When I jam the door and leave it open
    D              Am
But I've been thinkin'

Chorus:
      Em   G    D          Am
If I try again, I know I'd run
 Em           G                 D          Am
Droppin' the words through the back of my tongue
Em    G        D         Am
Poisonous is what I've become
     Em   G           D              Am
I'd try again, but I don't have the courage
  Em
(Courage)

Facin' the sun from the rooftop playin' a sad song
Feelin' bad for myself
All of my friends back home say I should be happy,
maybe

Sofa's so uncomfortable
When I jam the door and leave it open
But I been thinkin'

Chorus:
If I try again, I know I'd run
Droppin' the words to the back of my tongue
Poisonous is what I've become
I'd try again, but I don't have the courage, oh
(Courage)

    G                  D               B7
It hurts so good, bad nights feel the same
             Em
as they did then
        D           C
I wish someone had told me how it ends
     G               D        B7           Em
I'm not so good at tryin' my words, in my defense
        D           C               Cm
I wish someone had told me, told me

Chorus:
If I try again, I know I'd run
Droppin' the words to the back of my tongue
Poisonous is what I've become
I'd try again, but I don't have the courage
(Courage, yeah; courage)

Oh, I'm poisonous
(Courage)
If I try again
If I try again
Oh, no (Courage)
Yeah
(Courage)
