INTRO:
C Am G F
VERSE:
Am
Oh, there's only one thing that I need to say to you
F
How could you've not have noticed all the things you put me through
G
Abandon me and leave me to leave this all behind
F G
There always was a hole in your heart (I hope is blind?)
Am
Well deliver me from madness we discover your own heart
F
Chasing down the demons that have been there from the start
G
A warm embrace to channel once again
F G
The feeling you felt when you once were a friend
CHORUS:
C
Oh, so hold my hand
C
Don't you leave me alone
Am
I'll hold my breath 'til I choke on my own
G
Words that will never quite make their way back
F
Back to the place where your heart turns so black
C
Oh, I bit my tongue 'til I'm choking to death
Am
I've given it my everything but there's nothing left
G F Am
So let's call this what it is this vertigo
VERSE:
Am
Is taken away
F
Have you heard a single thing that I've been trying to say
G
You're boiling and fishing like a slap to the wrist
F G
Never again as you shake with your fist
Am
Oh be calm and ever so clear
F
As the clouds in your head make it all disappear
G
Now broken and beautifully you squirm and decay
F G
As you stretch out your fingertips all then to say
CHORUS:
C
Oh, oh hold my hand
C
Don't you leave me alone
Am
I'll hold my breath 'til I choke on my own
G
Words that will never quite make their way back
F
Back to the place where your heart turns so black
C
Oh, I bit my tongue 'til I'm choking to death
Am
I've given it my everything but there's nothing left
G F C
So let's call this what it is this vertigo
