*Chords with a star next to it should be played as a barre chord.*
[Verse]
G* Em
Cold is the ground beneath your head
C
Watching the ceiling fan
Dadd4add9 G
Get caught on the endings we bled
G* Em
Hold me in your arms again
C
And I'll cry so quietly
Dadd4add9 G
You won't know the plots from my death
[Chorus]
Em C G
And I don't mind the bathroom floor
Em C G D6add9/F#
And my body's just sore
[Verse]
G* Em
Freeze me out of your heart
C Dadd4add9 G
Let me down gently unlike my buckling knees
G* Em
Please don't tell the boneyard
C Dadd4add9 G
It's supplementary and it gives me some fucking relief
[Chorus]
Em C G
Well I don't mind the bathroom floor
Em C G D6add9/F#
And my body's just sore
Em C G
Well is this what you're looking for
Em C G D6add9/F#
Cause I can't take it anymore
[Bridge]
Em C G D6add9/F#
You, you swallow the earth and break it in two
Em C G D6add9/F#
If only you knew how hollow it hurt so easily skewed
Em C G D6add9/F#
I bleed out for you
Em C G D6add9/F#
I bleed out for you
[Verse]
G* Em
Well count the blemishes a song like blow
C Dadd4add9 G
Each one inventing new ways to be on your own
G* Em
Drown in endless snow
C
Slowly accepting
Dadd4add9 G
I got nowhere else to go
