This is how I play the song. Got the lyrics online, they don't seem very accurate and I
tried changing some parts that seemed to fit better.
Suggestions and corrections welcome!

You're the one why I'm vised into the sun
You're the only one
C Am
You're the one I'm a sinking ship coming down
D G
Take the sun apart and put it back together
C Am
Drown the mountain so you can forget her

I'm coming down, I see eyes in the mirror
C Am
Not my arms reaching out of the flames
D

Nothing more will ever make me feel

Like a plastic bag full of sick again
D G C Am
Arms reaching out of the flames
But without a heart

I need to forget some words I said yesterday
D G
Change them away from memories
C G
And just say them all again
D G
Found you back here again
C
You say the same things

But we can't be friends
D G C G Em
As long as your arms are reaching out of the flames
Em Am x3
