[Intro]
F
[Verse]
F5
Crushing you inside of my grip again
C5
You’re breathing in
G5
Pushing this aside till when?
A5
Ignoring that pain
F5
Felt you creep inside of my head again
C5 G5
It all depends on where I am and who I’m there with
[Pre-Chorus]
A5 F5 A5 C5
It’s rough when we’re both square one
D5 F5 A5 C5
With so much undone, who lost and who won?
D5 F
All rain, no sun
Don’t want to have to speak to anyone
[Chorus]
C5 D5 F5
Said this will kill if you let it
Somehow I forget
C5 D5
I should be asleep I shouldn’t be upset
F5
Playing the victim
C5 D5
While you’re still here
F5 C5
Blaming the future on the things I fear
D5 F5
I keep blaming the future on things I fear
[Verse]
F5* A5*
Waking up to gloom and routine again
You’re breathing in
C5* G5* F5*
That air that dries your lungs
A5*
But you kept our trust
C5* G5*
And said do what you must to be happy
F5
And I left with a debt that called me
A5 C5
Out quick to be honest with it all
G5 F5 A5
So now I just sing (I just sing) about missing this and missing that
C5 G5 F5*
But what will it really bring?
[Pre-Chorus]
A5* C5*
When we’re both square one
D5* F5* A5* C5*
With so much undone, who lost and who won?
C5 D5
All rain
[Chorus]
F5
Kill if you let it
Somehow I forget
C5 D5
I should be asleep I shouldn’t be upset
F5
Playing the victim
C5 D5
While you’re still here
F5 C5
Blaming the future on the things I fear
D5 F5
I keep blaming the future on things I fear
[Bridge]
A5pm F5pm C5pm D5pm
A5 F5
Just a special circumstance
C5 D5
Where in lies the worst part that I can’t accept
Coming up on Fall
F5 C5
Are there things we haven’t spoke on yet?
D5
Said you won’t regret
F5
But you and I are one in the same
[Pre-Chorus]
C5 D5
Don’t want to have to feel numb
C5 D5
I don’t want this undone
C5 D5
Don’t want to have to speak to anyone
[Chorus]
F5
Kill if you let it
Somehow I forget
C5 D5
I should be asleep I shouldn’t be upset
F5
Kill you if you let it
Somehow I forget
C5 D5
I should be asleep I shouldn't be upset
F5
Playing the victim
C5
While you’re still here
D5 F5 C5 D5 F5*
I keep blaming the future on the things I fear
