[Intro]
Am*
[Verse 1]
Am Fsus2
Naked and retched and retching on a hotel bathroom floor
Gsus2
Somewhere in the city
Am Fsus2
Three days not sleeping, not eating, not feeling good anymore
Gsus2 Dm
Drenched in sweat and self-pity now
Dm Fsus2
It's not a pretty sight
[Chorus]
Gsus2 Am* Fsus2
What to say in my defense?
Gsus2 Am*
I was imperfect, tense
Fsus2 Gsus2 C C/B Fsus2 F
Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went
G Am*
So won't you be my present sense?
[Verse 2]
Am Fsus2
Breaking, I'm shaking, it's taking a long long time
Gsus2
To come down off this murderous medication
Am Fsus2 Gsus2 Dm
Trying to remember my reasons for running myself into the ground with such dedication
[Chorus]
Fsus2 Gsus2 Am* Fsus2
What to say in my defense?
Gsus2 Am*
I was imperfect, tense
Fsus2 Gsus2 C C/B Fsus2 F
Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went
G Bb Am G# G7
So won't you be my present sense?
[Bridge]
Dm C G/B Am G
It's not meant to be
C G/B Am G F
I am lost at sea
Dm C G/B Am G
So mermaids sing to me
C
Of the better times and the things that can be
F
And of islands in the Mediterranean sea
C
And of eating and sleeping and times when I should
F
And of washing the drink and the drugs from my blood
Dm G
And I've nothing to say in my defense
Dm G
I'm far from perfect and I'm still tense
Dm G
They say that love can change you once
Dm G
Please, say that love can change me once
Fsus2
Come on change me
