Rot

G#5                   B5
 Why disguise my bad intentions?
G#5                        G5
I’ve got nothing to hide
G#5                               
 Except the tendency to separate 
   B5
the part of me
E5                    Eb5
   That’s feeling too desperate to 
die

G#5                           B5
  Maybe I’ve been dreaming in lo-fi
G#5                     G5
Like I just can’t stop
G#5                          
Maybe I’ve been rotting on the 
  B5
inside
E5                Eb5
All alone with my negative thoughts,
 they’re:

[Chorus]
B                   G#m
  Crawling outta the hole inside of 
me
B                  G#m
 Try to kill ‘em before I come 
undone
E         F#
    I can tell they’re on to me
E         G       F#
    I can feel it in my blood

B                    G#m
  Spilling out of the hole inside of
 me
B                   G#m
  Try to fill it before I come 
undone
E            F#
    But it’s just a part of me
E     G         F#
    I can’t get away from

[Verse 2]

G#5                        B5
   And now I’m back in the thick of 
it
G#5                    G5
Telling everyone near
G#5                      B5
  “OMG like the grind is killing me”
E5                    Eb5
  Practice that speech in the mirror
 like:
G#5                  B5
  “I wanna thank the academy”
Continues after the ad
G#5                   G5
Well isn’t it great?  I’m Doing-
G#5                              
Something productive with my self 
B5
destruction
E5                   G5
  It’s the one thing keeping me sane
G#5
  How’s that for your glass half 
full? It’s not even my best trait
G5

[Chorus]
B                   G#m
  Crawling outta the hole inside of 
me
B                  G#m
 Try to kill ‘em before I come 
undone
E         F#
    I can tell they’re on to me
E         G       F#
    I can feel it in my blood

B                    G#m
  Spilling out of the hole inside of
 me
B                   G#m
  Try to fill it before I come 
undone
E            F#
    But it’s just a part of me
E     G         F#
    I can’t get away from

[Bridge]

G#5   Eb5   G#5   Eb5
Reckless
G5         Eb5     G5           
  The less I break,  The more I care
Eb5
 about-
G#5    Eb5   G#5    Eb5
Money
G5
  The less I make

G5
The less I care about-
G#5      Eb5     G#5      Eb5
Everything
G5          Eb5      G5          
  The better it goes,        And 
 Eb5
the-
G#5      Eb5     G#5      Eb5
Better it gets
G5
  The more I lose control

                                    
              |
And when I’ve-                      
              | (Pwr chord version, 
pick your favourite)
G#m                               
Lost it all                       
                | G#5      B5     
                | Lost it all
G#5      B5

G                                 
I self-sabotage                   
                | G5       B5     
                |   I 
G5       B5
self-sabotage
E                                 
But it only serves                
                | G#5      B5     
                | But it only 
G#5      B5
serves
G                                 
To legitimize my flaws            
                | G5       B5     
                |    To legitimize
G5       B5
 my flaws
                                    
              |
       E
Like I recall
       G
Them at all when they’re:

[Chorus]
B5                 Bb5
Crawling outta the hole inside of me
A5                    G#5
   Try to kill ‘em before I come 
undone
E         F#
    I can tell they’re on to me
E         G       F#
    I can feel it in my blood

B                    G#m
  Spilling out of the hole inside of
 me
B                   G#m
  Try to fill it before I come 
undone
E            F#
    But it’s just a part of me
E     G         F#
         I can’t stop from

me
E                    F#
  Spilling out of the hole
