Bitter Tonic

A C#m X2


[Verse 1]
A             C#m
I don't wanna die
A           C#m
But I say I do so I can scare myself
 sometimes
A               C#m
Comfort in the curse
A          C#m
Maybe I believe it’s something I 
deserve

[Pre-chorus]
D                            Bm
Found my way to hell, the mirror in 
my bedroom
D
I couldn’t stop myself
Bm
Even if I had to

[Chorus]
D           E            
Everybody knows I’ll end up 
     A       F#m
broken-hearted
D          E              A
Everybody sees it but I don’t
C#m      D                E     
Oh you know I need your help 
          F#m       E      B
because it’s so damn hard to hide
          Bm7
But I’ll never want it
            D      E        A
‘Cause the bitter tonic is mine

[Verse 2]
A            C#m
Chaos in my court
A               C#m          
I always wanna taste the poison 
     E
first
                A                
‘Cause I’m the fool Falling on my 
  C#m
sword
A             C#m
Waking up to fight another fruitless
 war


[Pre-chorus]
D                            Bm
Found my way to hell, the mirror in 
my bedroom
D
I couldn’t stop myself
Bm
Even if I had to


[Chorus]
D           E            
Everybody knows I’ll end up 
     A       F#m
broken-hearted
D          E              A
Everybody sees it but I don’t
C#m      D                E     
Oh you know I need your help 
          F#m       E      B
because it’s so damn hard to hide

But I’ll never want it
