G
I am waiting 'til there's nothing left
I'm a prayer all you see is breath
Em C G
I am empty I am skin and bones I'm a ribcage
Well I'm out the door with apathy
And I'm coming home with sympathy
Em C G
I am realize I am shame I choose to stay here

You got a sign so I pay a ransom

You felt sorry so I felt a wrath come
Em C
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm
D
My arm
Pre verse-G Em C G Em C G

There's a song I love so much I stole
Every precious note I took I sold
Em C G
Now I spit out words. Do you see my lungs on the dancefloor?

To a hopeless cause I sold my soul
Em
A romantic plastic piece of shit you can mold
C G
Until I break into chokable pieces

You got a sign so I pay a ransom
G D
You felt sorry so I felt a wrath come
Em C
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm
D
My arm
Solo-G Em C G Em C
Em C
And I open up like the back of a book
G D
I ruin everything with just a quick look
Em C
I settle down like a rocket explodes
G D
Hit the ground but how far out who knows
Em C
You got a sign so I pay a ransom
G D
You felt sorry so I felt a wrath come
Em C D
Had a nice grip on my life untill you twisted my arm
my arm
end on G
