Intro
Fmaj7 Am G6
[Verso 1]
Fmaj7 Am G6
It took awhile for you to settle down settle in
Fmaj7 Am G6
You took the cinnamon and washed it out of your mouth
Fmaj7 Am G6
And when the guillotine came down it snapped over my neck
Fmaj7 Am G6
Still once you looked away you were gone
Fmaj7 Am G6
There's only diligence in those who try to cut you down
Fmaj7 Am G6
And once they do the tremors echo coast to coast
Fmaj7
And when you dream
Am G6
Do you wake up soaked in red colored sweat
Fmaj7 Am G6
Love seems so far away from anything you want now
Bb
There's a part of me that never wants to see you again
Fmaj7 C
And there's a part of me that needs you now
Bb
I don't why my brain was wired fifty fifty but now
Fmaj7 C
It seems i'm the only one oblivious
Interlude
Fmaj7 Am G6
[Verso 2]
Fmaj7 Am G6
It's spreading like a disease that's what you wanted
Fmaj7 Am G6
When it was here now it's the curse you got
Fmaj7 Am
And when you fled to california
G6 Fmaj7 Am G6
I was somewhere at home just trying desperately to brush it off
Fmaj7 Am G6
Sucked out the venom and you spit it out of your mouth
Fmaj7 Am G6
But i'm not sure i wanna die slow
Fmaj7
My heart's still broken
Am G6
But something would have done it somehow
Fmaj7 Am G6
Some things just never end up like you thought
Outro
Fmaj7 C Dsus2
