Intro: C F Am G

Verse
C
I’ve created a monster
Am
It feeds on my guilt
C
I’m lying with vultures
Am
They’re watching me wilt
C
Patiently waiting for me to decay
Am
I’ve got half of my breath left

I’m one stitch away
C
And no there’s no decorum

They won’t be polite
Am
They’ll just rip up my bones
                              F  G
Till there’s no flesh in sight 
Am      F     G
But I’ll be fine



Chorus
       C              F
It's a long road to the top
Am
When your friends play the anchor
G
You call they don't answer
Am                 G
Don't ask me to watch
                  F
While you're killing yourself
C           G      
Heartbreaks, mistakes
F
Trust me I'm a mess

But I beat myself best
       Am               G
It's a long road to the top
         F
When you're on your own

Interlude: C F Am G


Verse 2
C
When the feast is all over
Am
The crowd disappears
C
I’m left with an uneasy sense
Am
That I’m soon to face all my fears
C
This is the only way I have to show you
Am
The things I’m too terrified for anyone to know
C
Honestly it’s just to be alone
Am    F       G
But I’ll be fine


Chorus
       C              F
It's a long road to the top
Am
When your friends play the anchor

Don't ask me to watch
                  F
While you're killing yourself
C           G      
Heartbreaks, mistakes
F
Trust me I'm a mess

But I beat myself best
       Am               G
It's a long road to the top
         F
When you're on your own
