[Intro]
C#m
[Verse 1]
C#m B
Wide awake in clothes I haven't changed
Amaj7 B
For days and days as the sun creeps through the window on my face, just let it go
C#m B
You say I'm like a ghost
Amaj7 B
My skin is white as paper as I haunt the halls of my home
C#m
[Chorus]
C#m B
I scream like it would stop the ache
Amaj7
Your colors start to show
B
I know what I have to do, but it kills me
[Verse 1]
C#m B
Rewriting all the songs
Amaj7 B
I'd change your name, but I know you'll still take everything to heart, just let it go
C#m B
I wonder if we'll die with hope
Amaj7 B
Or if we'll be counting the sins we carry deeply as we go
[Bridge]
C#m
I just wanted you to have a better life
B Amaj7
Not always shying away from your thoughts on the inside
B
I, I could set you free
C#m
I put you on a shelf, knowing that I'd be
B
Too far to reach you from down in hell
A
The sun slumps back as I burn your dreams
B
To the best of my ability, so just let me leave
[Chorus]
C#m B
I scream like it would stop the ache
Amaj7
Your colors start to show
B
I know what I have to do, but it kills me
C#m B
Sleep, if anything, I'll dream
Amaj7
It's only then I'll have you
B
I know what I have to do, but it kills me
[Outro]
C#m B Amaj7 B
