C              G
I don't bother anyone
Em               D
Nervous when I stand
C              G/B
Chokin' on the circumstance
Em
Only smokin' secondhand (Mm-mm)
C              G
Cut us open, spread us out (Mm-mm)
Em             D
Dry us in the sand (Mm-mm)
C              G/B
Lay the fibers side by side (Mm-mm)
    Em
And you'll begin to understand (Mm-mm)

Chorus:
G           D
I know it's over
C
I was born a choker
G         D           C
Nobody's comin' for me
Comin' for me

C G       Em          D
   Mm-mm (I know it's over)
     C G/B     Em
Mm-mm,    mm-mm,  mm-mm

I don't bother anyone
Never make demands
Chokin' on the circumstance
Self-sabotage is a sweet romance (Mm-mm)
Seems like all I'm worth is what
I'm able to withstand (Mm-mm)
Sooner I can realize that pain is just a middleman

Chorus

       G       F        C
I see no volunteers to cosign on my fears
      G           D
I'll sign on the line
C    G        Em               D
Alone, you're gonna change my circumstance
    G  D    C       D
I know   I need to move right now

Chorus:
G           D
I know it's over

I was born a choker
G         D             C
Nobody's comin' for me (Only smokin' secondhand)
G           D
I know it's over
C/E
I was born a choker
G         D          C
Nobody's comin' for me
Comin' for me

G                       D
Like a little splinter buried in your skin
        C
Someone else can carve it out but when you've got the pin
            G                            D
It hurts a little less and you can even push it further in
           C
When your body's screamin' out, trust your mind's listenin'
G                       D
Like a silhouette that you can barely see
       C
As a shadow cast upon the ground where you'll eventually
       G                               D
Lay forever, but the day goes on, the sun moves behind you
         C
You get taller, bolder, stronger
and the rearview only blinds you
