Emery - Don't Waste Your Breath
Can be played with a capo if open chords are easier. The bridge from the bass solo
onwards is a little messy
with the timing, but if you play along to the song, it should hopefully make sense.
Enjoy!

The cold has made its way into my bones

The cover of these clouds keeps the light from coming through

The world it seems much darker now

The sun went down for good

I'm done waiting on the warmth

I'm done waiting for you

Just hold it in

It won't do you any good

The memories of springtime

With the flowers all in bloom

Here I am just wishing I was still in love with you

The world it seems much colder now
D# C#
The sun went down for good

I've been waiting for your words
D# C#
And I've been waiting for you
[Chorus]
F# G# D#
Don't waste your breath

It won't do you any good

You're so inviting when

You pull me in

Do you think we could?

Just take deep breaths

And think about what you said to me

Slip on that dress

Don't get ahead of yourself
G#
You think you can control me
C#
You got another thing coming yeah

Deep cuts don't heal themselves

And you never cover up your trail

Of the person that you really are

Own up to your mistakes

Maybe there's hope for you someday

So long, farewell

Baby I'll just see you in Hell
