[Verse 1]
Am C D Am
I hurt myself today,
C D Am
To see if I still feel,
C D Am
I focus on the pain,
C D Am
The only thing that's real,
C D Am
The needle tears a hole,
C D Am
The old familiar sting,
C D Am
Try to kill it all away,
C D G
But I remember everything.
 
[Chorus]
Am F
What have I become,
C G
My sweetest friend?
Am F
Everyone I know,
C G
Goes away in the end,
Am F
And you could have it all,
G
My empire of dirt,
Am F
I will let you down,
G Am C D
I will make you hurt.
 
[Interlude]
Am C D
 
[Verse 2]
Am C D Am
I wear this crown of thorns,
C D/F# Am
Upon my liar's chair,
C D Am
Full of broken thoughts,
C D/F# Am
I cannot repair,
C D Am
Beneath the stains of time,
C D Am
The feelings disappear,
C D/F# Am
You are someone else,
C D G
But I’m still right here.
 
[Chorus]
Am F
What have I become,
C G
My sweetest friend?
Am F
Everyone I know,
C G
Goes away in the end,
Am F
And you could have it all,
G
My empire of dirt,
Am F
I will let you down,
G
I will make you hurt.
 
[Outro]
Am F
If I could start again,
G
A million miles away,
Am F
I would keep myself,
G
I would find . . .
N.C.
A way.
