[Verso 1]
Em C G
It's a feeling all around
Watching while we're sleeping, babe
D
And drinking when we drown
Em C G
So deceiving, what a sound
Making deep incisions
Em
Just to have you turn around and say
C G D
"It's you pushing all my love away
Em C G D
And I know it's true, I'm thinking maybe you can stay"
Em
I can't leave
C
Crawling down on my knees
I'm burning up, burning up
G
I won't take another moment
D
Caught up in the hell I've opened
[Verso 2]
Em C
In the deep end where I'm supposed to be
G D
Where my future and my past is hanging over me
Em C
Get some luck and maybe I can finally get some sleep
G D (Or Silence)
I can't get some sleep (how'd I get so deep?)
Em C
And it's you
G D
Pushing all my love away
Em
What did I just do?
C G D
Blame it on my mental state
Em
I can't leave
C
Crawling down on my knees
I'm burning up, burning up
G
I won't take another moment
D
Caught up in the hell I've opened
Em C
See, I'm falling for your disease
I'm burning up, burning up
G
I won't take another moment
D
Caught up in the hell I've opened
Em C
If I make a sound
G D
Chewing up glass, I spit it out
Em C
Whatever makes you proud
G D
Feeling restless, why we never fight this?
Em C
And if I make a sound
G D
Chewing glass, I spit it out
Em C
Whatever makes you proud
G D
So restless, why we never fight this?
Em
I can't leave
C
I'm crawling down on my knees, no
I'm burning up, burning up
G
I won't take another moment
D
Caught up in the hell I've opened
Em C
See, I've fallen for your disease, baby
I'm burning up, burning up
G
I won't take another moment
D
Caught up in the hell I've opened
