This Is What Self-Destruction Feels Like

Tom: F

           Dm
This isn't easy
F              Bb              F
  I don't know how and what to feel
        Dm    F
Keeping busy
            Bb                F
It does the job but it doesn't heal
            Dm    F
My mind is a fire
        Bb           F
And I'm burning love away
                       F                  Bb
It's getting harder to feel and they all say


[Pre-Chorus]
C               Dm    F             Bb       F
You need to take care of yourself my darling
               Dm          F           Bb        F
But they don't know how it feels to be broken


[Chorus]
        Dm              F
I can't help it, I feel numb
                  Bb
I'll wait for the waves to leave and come
            Bb    F
I think I'm breaking
                  Dm    F
I'm a mess in the making
Bb   F
(Mmm mmm)
              Dm
A mess in the making
F    Bb    F
(Mmm mmm)


[Verse 2]
            Dm
I'm getting tired
F                 Bb            F
  Of the same old feeling in my chest
          Dm
I'm not a liar
F              Bb                 F
  But I've got secrets I can't confess
         Dm
Don't say you love me
F               Bb               F
  Cause I don't understand those words
                       F
It's getting harder to feel and they all say


[Pre-Chorus]
C               Dm    F             Bb       F
You need to take care of yourself my darling
               Dm          F           Bb        F
But they don't know how it feels to be broken


[Chorus]
        Dm              F
I can't help it, I feel numb
                  Bb
I'll wait for the waves to leave and come
            Bb    F
I think I'm breaking
                  Dm    F
I'm a mess in the making
Bb   F
(Mmm mmm)
              Dm
A mess in the making
F    Bb    F
(Mmm mmm)


[Bridge]
    Dm                   F
I'm holding on a tightrope
    Bb                  F
And know I'm not coming home
Dm       F
Hurting, searching
    Bb                      F
You know I'm not coming home


[Outro]
           Dm    F
This isn't easy
             Bb              F
I don't know how and what to feel
        Dm    F
Keeping busy
            Bb                 F
It does the job but it doesn't heal
