Frank Iero and the Patience - They Wanted Darkness
Chords by Simon Kelly
Based on www.youtube.com/watch?v=l70z5stw6yI
It's played two half steps down in that video, but this only makes a difference in the end of the bridge
when it goes from a high D# to a lower D#, if you can live with that, just play it in standard.
No Capo (might be easier on the wrist to play with capo on 1 and transpose, allows some open chords instead
of all barre chords).

[Intro]
G#m B F#
G#m B F#
G#m B A#m C#
G#m B A#m
[Verse 1]
F# G#m B A#m
Sometimes we miss old friends,
C# G#m B A#m F#
Until we remember they weren't friends
G#m B A#m C# G#m B
You see, treachery in memories it always takes a different spin…
A#m F#
Until it happens again and again
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A#m F#
And it's that time again,
A#m F# G#m D# Cm
You're just in time to break me down
[Chorus 1]
A# Cm G#m D# Cm
You said you want my pain?
A# G#m D# Cm
And I gave you pain
A# G#m D# F# G#m B F#
I'll give you pain, until it's gone
G#m B F#
[Verse 2]
F# G G#m B A#m
You wanna know my deal,
C# G#m B A#m F#
the reason I can't deal
G#m B A#m C#
Why I crack under the pressure of always feeling guilty
G#m B A#m F# A#m
Of never pleasing anyone cause no one here can get over their shit?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F# A#m
But it's that time again,
F# G#m D# Cm
There's always time to bring me down
[Chorus 2]
A# Cm G#m D# Cm
You say you want my heart,
A# G#m D# Cm A#
Just to tear it apart
G#m D#
But that's my favorite part of me
F#
Yeah that's the only part I love
[Bridge]
G# Cm C#
You can't tell me how to be myself,
D#M G#
Just wait, I'm gonna try my best to figure it out for myself
Cm C#
You can't break me down again or change my mind on this,
D#M
I'm breaking out of this, your darkness
Cm C# D#M Cm
No one's ever felt like this before, oh no,
C# G
No one's ever been like me before, I'm sure of it, sure of it
G# D# Fm
You can't tell me how to be myself,
D# G#
Just wait, I'm gonna try my best to figure it out for myself
A#m D# Fm
You can't break me down again or change my mind on this,
D#
I'm breaking out of this, your darkness
G#m D#
Would you die for me if I lived for you?
Fm D#
But turn your back on me, if I continue to follow my heart?
Gm
How could you?
G# D#
Throw me away, just let me be, and hate me for me
(I can't be so, perfectly, untrue for you.)
G# D#
Loving a lie, deny me my life, but I still love you…
(I can't be so, perfectly, untrue for you.)
Gm
But why should I?
