Tom: Am
Am
Do you know me the way you say you do?
C
Or do you only know what you want to
G F
When you slowly cut me up deep like a knife?
Am
You are slowly taking over in my head
C
A new coding, everything inside we said
G F
I can only see myself through tainted eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Be careful with what you say
C D
Every little word will resonate
G F
No voice or reason to debate
Am
I've never tried to pay
C
But holding on only leads me to isolate
G
But if everything is true 'bout what you say
[Chorus]
N.C. Am
Thеn maybe I'm better lonеly
C
I'm starting to think I am
G F
'Cause all you ever do is try to hurt me just because you can
Am
Tell me what you hate about me
C
The things that make me who I am
G F
Wonder if they're the reason everybody leaves me in the end
[Post-Chorus]
Am C
Maybe I'm better lonely
G F
Maybe I'm better lonely
[Verse 2]
Am C
Do you notice how soon my smile fades on my own lips
G
When you put me on display with the focus?
F
You're bringing my flaws into light (Bring my flaws into light)
Am C
Can't revoke it, every blow is on my plate and they won't quit
G
How can I be the one to blame from all this?
F
I let your thoughts take over mine (They're taking over mine)
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Be careful with what you say
C D
Every little word will resonate
G F
No voice or reason to debate (no reason to debate)
Am
I've never tried to pay
C
But holding on only leads me to isolate
G
But if everything is true 'bout what you say
[Chorus]
N.C. Am
Thеn maybe I'm better lonеly
C
I'm starting to think I am
G F
'Cause all you ever do is try to hurt me just because you can
Am
Tell me what you hate about me
C
The things that make me who I am
G F
Wonder if they're the reason everybody leaves me in the end
[Post-Chorus]
Am C
Maybe I'm better lonely
G F
Maybe I'm better lonely
[Bridge]
Am C
If I let go of everyone around me and I'm alone
G
All is left is who I see in my shadow
F
Will I be happy or am I my own worst enemy?
Am C
If I let go of everyone around me and I'm alone
G
All is left is who I see in my shadow
F C F
Will I be happy or am I my own worst enemy?
[Chorus]
N.C. Am
Thеn maybe I'm better lonеly
C
I'm starting to think I am
G F
'Cause all you ever do is try to hurt me just because you can
Am
Tell me what you hate about me
C
The things that make me who I am
G F
Wonder if they're the reason everybody leaves me in the end
[Post-Chorus]
Am C
Maybe I'm better lonely
G F
Maybe I'm better lonely
Am C
Maybe I'm better lonely
G F
Maybe I'm better lonely
