[Intro]
Bm G D x2
[Verse 1]
Bm G D
If I could face them, if I could make amends with all my shadows
Bm G D
I'd bow my head and welcome them
Bm G D
But I feel it burning, like when the winter wind stops my breathing
Bm G D
Are you really gonna love me when I'm gone, fear you won't, I fear you don't
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G Bm A
And it echoes when I breathe, 'til all you see is my ghost
G Bm A
Empty vessel, crooked teeth, wish you could see, and they call me under
[Chorus 1]
G D Bm A
And I'm shaking like a leaf, and they call me under
G D Bm A
And I wither underneath, in this storm
[Interlude]
Bm G D x2
[Verse 2]
Bm G D
I am a stranger, I am an alien inside a structure
Bm G D
Are you really gonna love me when I'm gone, with all my thoughts, and all my faults
Bm G D
I feel it biting, I feel it break my skin so uninviting
Bm G D
Are you really gonna need me when I'm gone, I fear you won't, I fear you don't
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G Bm A
And it echoes when I breathe, 'til all you see is my ghost
G Bm A
Empty vessel, crooked teeth, wish you could see, and they call me under
[Chorus 2]
G D Bm A
And I'm shaking like a leaf, and they call me under
G D Bm A
And I wither underneath, in this storm, I feel it
G D Bm G
And they call me under, and I'm shaking like a leaf
D Bm A
And they call me underneath, to the storm
[Outro]
