[Verse 1]
       F                 C     
I was hoping that maybe we could 
            Bb              F
love each other until we die
         F                         
But I'm learning that life doesn't 
C                 Bb             
give a shit about us and I'm done
           F
 asking why
        F                   C     
When I wake up at night in my 
            Bb                F
coffin and it's time to go get a 
bite
    F                          C  
I'm thankful you left when you 
                              Bb
did, there was something in your 
                      F
life that just wasn't right

Alright

[Verse 2]
   F                  C           
My habits are getting weirder, 
                    Bb           
I've been drinking the blood from 
               F
the mice that I feed
        F                    C    
But I'm working my way up to human
                     Bb     
 beings, that's what healthy 
               F
bloodsuckers need
     F                C     
I'm sorry for all the lack of 
                  Bb               
support, well I guess I forgot how 
      F
to love
        F                       
I don't blame you these days for 
 C                      Bb        
letting me go, when my pushes all 
          C
came to shove


[Chorus]
         Bb               C       
But I'll stop pretending that I'm 
                 F              Bb
something I was never meant to be
          Dm                       
It wasn't fulfilling me, darling, 
      A
it was killing me
    Bb               C          
I'm turning myself into something 
   F                  Bb
that's perfect for me
    Dm                           A
I'm learning lessons as I live, you 
want to get, you got to give

[Verse 3]
    F                          
I'm sick of this town I've been 
 C                       Bb   
sticking around for too long, I 
          F
gotta leave
       F                       
In the mornings I wake up and I 
 C                        Bb      
can't get happy and when night 
                  F
falls I can't even breathe
           F                      
'Cause the menacing conflict that 
C                         Bb     
plagues my mind from the shit 
                       F
that's never happened to me
    F                          
I'm striken by guilt, God won't 
 C                          
leave me alone, she finds my 
  Bb                      F
soffucation so goddamn funny
           F                       
I'm always stressing out trying to 
      C                            
think about fitting in, but my true
 Bb                 F
 colors inevitably show
       F                  C       
I just wanna be something 
             Bb                   
different from every other asshole 
F
named Joe
           F                   
I'm always workin' for purpose, 
                     C             
something that will give meaning to
                 Bb                
 the rest of my life that I may not
   F
 live
           F                   
I'm always passing out thinking 
            C                   
about why I move my bowels But I 
  Bb                        F
just run out of shits to give

[Chorus]

Stare, the hopelessness I felt
                    Dm
Tryin' not to think about
                     Bb
The last years of my life
     Bb       C     F
When I still had a wife
                       A
I've moved on to newer things
                    Dm
Embracing what life brings
                      Bb
As I'm waiting for my fangs
    D     C        F
And other stranger things
                 Bb             
I decided my own fate, and I can 
         Dm
hardly wait

I'm becoming myself, I don't need

anyone else
                  A                
I'm coming like a flood, I'm living
          Dm
 off your blood
                       Bb       
And I'm making this my town, and 
  C          F    Bb    F    Bb 
taking you down
