<sup>Am C D Am

C</sup> I hurt ^D myself ^Am today
to ^C see if ^D I still ^Am feel
^C I focus ^D on the ^Am pain
the ^C only thi ^D ng that's ^Am real
^C The needle ^D tears a ^Am hole
the ^C old fam ^D iliar ^Am sting
Try ^C to kill it ^D all ^Am away
but I ^C remember ^D every ^G thing

^Chorus:
Am What have I ^F become
^C My sweetest fr ^G iend
^Am Everyone I ^F know
go ^C es away in the ^G end
^Am And you could have it ^F all
^C My empire of ^G dirt
^Am I will let you ^F down
^C I will make you ^Am hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

^Chorus

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
