Tom: C
C G C G
[Verse]
C
I hope my absence haunts you like a ghost
G
Eating away at you from time to time
C G
I know I’m absent from your life and mind but you still haunt mine
[Verse]
Am G
There’s a different kind of emptiness you left me with after all of this
F C
And I can’t wrap my head around the fact that you’re not coming back
Am G
There’s a chemical imbalance that you left inside my brain
F C F
You’re the reason why the alcohol is still rotting in my veins
[Chorus]
Am C
I’ll be ok this is something I can get through
F Am C
But I don’t know if I can say the same about you
[Verse]
C G
I know a world of stability is all that you could ever see and when everything falls apart
Dear God I know it’ll fall apart
C G
I hope you buckle at your knees and think of me
[Verse]
Am
I’ll leave you with this emptiness as your parting gift
G
These heavy words I know you can’t lift
C
(Between the two of you there’ll be a common rift)
And thats me. The problem you can’t fix
Am G
The chemicals have balanced as I’m writing off your name
C F
I hope the thought of us and broken trust stays frozen in his brain
[Chorus]
Am C
I’ll be ok this is something I can get through
F Am C
But I don’t know if I can say the same about you
[Bridge]
F
Truth be told we are not the same
G
A future sold that was built on blame
Am
I pray you can’t bear the guilt and shame
C
I’ll stay a thorn in your side that’s worn with pain
F
Day in day out it won’t get better
G
Even your friends say forever fair-weather
Am C F
Stay stuck. You’re a stormy sky with an idle mind you deserve each other
[Outro]
G Am
And I’ve been picking you apart in my head
F G Am
Trying to see between you and me if there was anything worth keeping
I’m empty handed once again
C F C
Constant consent. You lied to him about the time we spent.
F Am
Relapse. Repent. Your judgement lapse came and went.
C
You said that life was built on compromise
F
A statement laced with fraying ties on borrowed time you’ll never find
Am C
So in the end you took what was yours and stole what was mine.
