[A] Wind blows through this empty room
[Bm] Like blood from an open wound
[G] Shut my eyes -[D] I don't want to see [A]
[A] Outside there's a big parade
[Bm] Some girl she's got it made
[G] Things change in the [D] time it takes to [E] breathe
[D] But I can't stand to see her [E] hands on you
[D] 'Cause you were my religion [G] too
Chorus:
You don't [D] have to re-[A] [Riff#1]mind me
[G] I don't [D] need you to [A] [Riff#1]bring it home
[G] You don't [D] have to re-[Bm] mind me
[G] Cause every [D] night I sleep [A] alone
[A] My friends all say I got nothing to lose
[Bm] So what if I can pick and choose
[G] Substitutes they're just a [D] waste of my time [A]
[A] So here I sit in this lonely room
[Bm] Just me and a lover's moon
[G] Funny how [D] love can be so un-[E] kind
[D] Sometimes I wish I could forget the [E] past
[D] 'Cause I can't stand to see it [G] last
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental - A G D 2x
[Bm ] I know there's [A] people who can walk upon the [E] water
[Bm] So how come I'm [A] sinking like a [E] stone
[F#m] You part the sea and then you [D] walk away from me
[E] I don't know how much longer I can breathe (Pause)
Repeat Chorus
