Tom: Em
[Chorus]
Em
Girl, I hope you understand
C
I wanted to hold your hand
G B
But I can't, wanted to be your man back then
Em C
And you knew I fell for you but you
Just broke my heart in two
G
I was sad, mad and broken on my bed
B
Hoping I get rid of all the voices in my head
[Verse 1]
Em
I was opening a packet of an undeveloped med
C
When I was met with a prescription of a bullet made of lead
G
And when I woke up in an hour in a pool of my own sweat
B
I said, "I swear to God I'll never even try to sleep again"
Em
So instead I took my pen and started writing evidencе
C
And when I started making sensе
I found that I had reached the end
G
Oh, I'm upset, I have no friends
You wanna bet you're just pretend?
B
You're just a pet confined within the lines of writing
You're not shit
Em C
I thought I stopped my psychopathic ways, I swear I did
G B
I said I talked to people 'bout the problematic life I lived
Em
They were my neighbors, razor blades
C
And different flavored pills I hate
G
Therefore I'm not sure, leave my last straw
B
I'm so glad, stuck in the past, I said that
[Chorus]
Em
Girl, I hope you understand
C
I wanted to hold your hand
G B
But I can't, wanted to be your man back then
Em
So far I never held you with my arms
C
So it's hard to be the one you aren't
G
With instead filled with anxiety
B
Always was a part of me, guess I'm not cut out to be
[Verse 2]
Em
Somebody 'cause it's not me
C
I'm not used to all the talk, it was an introvert
That had converted feelings in the writing
G
Used to cope with all my problems
Using notes and lots of rhyming
B
Used to hope for better days whenever
That's 'bout make me crying
Em
I'm not lying when I say that I would rather die than go back
C
To the times I would try be the guy the people know
G
I was fighting with the demons hiding far beyond my eyelids
B
On an island full of violence in my head that I could pilot
Em C
Oh, the sun don't shine, the skies turn gray
G
I feel it coursing through my veins
B
I said before I'm not okay
Em
But you don't listen anyway
C
You know I tried, you turned away
B G
You straight up lied right to my face
B
You fucked my life, ruined my day
But you don't know, so I'll say
[Bridge]
Em C
Nothing can fill this silence, no one can love like I did
(You don't know so I'll say)
G B
Nobody cares, you lied, it's not fair, you still deny it
(So I'll say)
Em C
Nothing can fill this silence, no one can love like I did
(You don't know so I'll say)
G B
Nobody cares, you lied, it's not fair, you still deny it
(So I'll say)
[Chorus]
Em
Girl, I hope you understand
C
I wanted to hold your hand
G B
But I can't, wanted to be your man back then
Em
Too bad I know I can't wake up
C
Because I lost my weight and you don't give a fuck
G B
About me, this could be a dream, I can't see
The things that you see, so please, oh
Em
Girl, I hope you understand
C
I wanted to hold your hand
G B
But I can't, wanted to be your man back then
Em
You know I'll play along you
C
Were my home I wrote you songs
G
And now you're dead to me effectively
B Em
Removed yourself outside my dream
