Sour Breath

Abm

[Verse 1]
Abm
I know you do better when you're by yourself
                                E
Free from the weight of my dirt poor health
Abm
New drugs to fix all my missing cells
                                Dbm
Didn't bring it up, cause I've done so well this week
Abm                               Ebm                      B
And I thought that if I tried a little bit harder you'd change your mind
E                                    B                  E        Abm
I've still got nowhere to be, and I don't do too well; nobody's worried
                        E
When nobody's worried about me

[Verse 2]
                      Abm
But I shouldn't have built a house in the middle of your chest
                Ebm
Plywood boards joined at your breast
  Abm
Splinter in my arm where you rest your head
                        B
Checking my watch till you come to bed
Abm
Kiss me goodnight with your sour breath
B                                   E
Breaks on my face like a wave of emptiness
And when I talk just taste regret
N.C.
You're everything I want and I'm all you dread

[Bridge]
Abm
Watch the poison leak from your pores
B
Think all the liquor's gonna keep you warm
E
Burn everything down to prove you could
E                     Gb           Abm
Leave me inside in a body made of wood
                   B    E |E Gb
In a body made of wood

[Chorus]
         Abm
Oh, the harder I swim, the faster I sink
     B
The harder I swim, the faster I sink
      E
The harder I swim, the faster I sink
      E                   Gb
The harder I swim, the faster I sink
      Abm
The harder I swim, the faster I sink
      B
The harder I swim, the faster I sink
      E
The harder I swim, the faster I sink
    N.C.
The harder I swim, the faster I sink
