Slip The Noose

F                        Em
Break down, hysteric and young
              D
Uncomfortably numb
                Em                 F
Then you sent my pain into oblivion
F           Em                D
I was on the verge of breaking down
              Em
Then you came around
                F
And not a second too late

[Verse 1]

F Em D Em F

      F
Well, give two fingers to the person
 that I used to be
             Em
You shook the noose, slipped my head
 loose

And now that boy is history
                 D
And you see that I knew better, 
yeah, I knew better
Em
Than to refuse your hand, you 
rescued me from myself

[Pre-Chorus]
D
Oh, just slip the noose
Em
Untie the rope from my wrists
F
I was about to let go
Bb
'Til I knew you existed

[Chorus]
F                        Em
Break down, hysteric and young

Well, loneliness is hell and you're 
alone
              Em
But I can tell you that it's 
everything you need
Em
Because it brought you back to me
                     D
And now you see that I knew better, 
yeah, I knew better

Than to refuse your hand, you

Too late, too late, it's not too
