Drown

Intro 2x: Am A4/E Am C C9 C G D D4/A D

      Am A4/E Am                      C C9 C
I'm so tired of the rain falling softly on the ground,
     G                                 D D4/A D
just enough to get my feet wet but not enough to let me drown.
         Am A4/E Am                        C C9 C
I've been laying in my bed wishing I had never woken,
        G                           D D4/A
begging god to rid my head of every word you've ever spoken.
        Am A4/E Am                             C C9 C
Broke my knuckles on the wall because I thought about the call 
          G
where you said you'd always love me, 
           D D4/A D
do you not tell the truth at all?
         Am A4/E Am                             C C9 C
Well if I ever cross your mind make sure you write down the times,
   G                             D D4/A D
so I will know the moments I was eating you alive.
      C                         Em                G
Now I lay here waiting with the hope that I might find some sleep.
  D
I need some sleep tonight.
C                                    Em                         G
 'Cause I've been waiting on your call but I know it will never come but 
          D                   C
I'm still waiting by the phone.
              Em                    G
And don't you dare, don't you dare, say you ever loved me 
        D
or even tell me that you cared 
          Em                               C
cause you knew what you were doing and you know just what you've done.
    G                                  D
How dare you say you miss me with your spit still on his tongue?
     Em                       C
I am broken, I am beaten, I'm mistreated and I'm torn,
     G                              D
I am cold with no direction but I'm lost without your warmth.
           Em                                  C
I'm trying hard to find some hope that I might get the chance to breathe.
    G                                           D
Get off my mind, give back my heart and get the fuck away from me!
         Em                            C
I know I couldn't give you much, but I know I gave my best,
         G                                D
you were always my princess, and now he's sliding up your dress.
      Em                         C
And I know I gave the world everything I've ever had, 
       G                                  D
Johnny Cash said love would burn, I never thought it hurt this bad.

            Em
You are the itch that's on my back, 
            C
you are the gum under my shoe, 
            G
you are the horrors of my past, 
            D
you are the chill that haunts the room , 
         Em
you are creaking on my steps, 
        C
you are cancer, you are plague, 
        G
you are regret, you are disease,
            D                         Em
I wish that you would go away.
