[Intro]
D G x2
[Verse]
D
Meters away your feet are pounding the floor your fingers
G
Tap on my ribcage knock on my ribcage
D
Hello how are you? No you’re not welcome inside
G
It’s really messy in here and I’ve got so much I’m tryna hide
D G
I’d let you in but you don’t know how easy my heart can break
D
And it’s a pain to clean up I’m still fixing my last mistake
G
There’s words all over the floor and motivations not my thing
D
So they can say there for now as long as I don’t let you in
My ideas always seem to miss where I’m aiming
G
Yesterday’s emotions are lying on the floor in a heap
D
My beds been witness to way too many breakdowns
G
I realise now, it’s been a while since I changed my sheets
D G
[Chorus]
D G
So I’ll cut the blood-flow keep it tidy in here
D G
And I’ll hold my breath just to stop you getting cold
D G
Oh the room it rattles with every heartbeat, you don’t like red but it stains the carpet
D G
This ribcage is too small for someone like you
[Verse]
D
Now you’re metres away and I’m stumbling backwards I’m
G
Staggering downhill back into the hole I just dug
D
You offer me a hand but I don’t want your help
G
Cause your hands always seem much worse than what I got dealt
D
This fall has crushed my lungs I’m winded
G
I can’t breathe in I cant get you out
D
And this fool that I’ve become is your fault
G
Cause now the sound of your voice is something I can’t live without
D G
[Chorus]
D G
So I’ll cut the blood-flow keep it tidy in here
D G
And I’ll hold my breath just to stop you getting cold
D G
Oh the room it rattles with every heartbeat, you don’t like red but it stains the carpet
D G
This ribcage is too small for someone like you
[Bridge]
Em
And I miss the feel of the falling rain
C G
Not caring if I get wet I think too much to feel the same
Dsus4/F#
I think too much to feel the same
Em
And I miss the risk of running a little too fast
C G
I miss the risk of pushing a little too far and I’m scared
Dsus4/F#
Of falling apart
[Chorus]
D G
So I’ll cut the blood-flow keep it tidy in here
D G
And I’ll hold my breath just to stop you getting cold
D G
Oh the room it rattles with every heartbeat, you don’t like red but it stains the carpet
D G
This ribcage is too small for someone like you
