Am                  G
This toxic cycle has my energy drained
             F                     Dm
You watch me suffer over your entertainment
            Am                         G
Your poison venom keeps me right in my place
       F                        Dm
Saying anything that gets me to stay


[Chorus]
     Am                        Em
Am I only just an ego boost to make you feel
F                                   Am  G
Better when she's not around that's my appeal
  Dm Em
To you,
Am G
you


[Verse 2]
          Am                           G
I fell in love with you, oh I took the bait
                 F                     Dm
And you said you loved me but you're a faker
         Am                            G
I tell myself that I deserve more than this
       F                       Dm         Em
Mental war with you that I'll never win


[Chorus]
Dm                             Em
Am I only just an ego boost to make you feel
F                                   Am  G
Better when she's not around that's my appeal
  Dm Em
To you,
Am G
you


[Verse 3]
Am      G
I gotta carry on now
F               Dm
Or I'm afraid I never will
Am           G
You keep me, keep me running
F               Dm
Keep me running for your thrill
Am      G
I gotta carry on now
F               Dm
Or I'm afraid I never will
 F           G
You keep me, keep me running
Am              E
Keep me running for your thrill


Dm                             Em
Am I only just an ego boost to make you feel
F                                   Am  G
Better when she's not around that's my appeal
  Dm Em
To you,
Am G
you
