[Verse 1]
Am                        C   F
Guess I'm sleepin' over after all
Am                             C   F
Somethin' dark and somethin' beautiful
    Am
But I don't wanna tell you how to live
 C                     F
You're lonely and you don't know when to quit
Am                              C    F
I guess we're not so different after all


[Chorus]
Am                        C              F
Never enough, takin' the world off your shoulders
Am                             C         F
It's never enough, takin' our demons to bed
Am
I don't wanna tell you how to live
               F
I don't wanna tell you how to live your life
     Am
But maybe we just don't know when to quit
               F
Maybe we just don't know when to quit the lie, yeah


[Verse 2]
Am                                     C        F
I could fill a lifetime with love that I left behind
Am                                   C       F
It's hard to unravel, our bodies are so intertwined
Am                                 C
But maybe there's nothin' left to save
F
You're just the grass on a stranger's grave
Am                                       C            F
And I'm still ashamed of the wreckage I left in your life


[Chorus]
Am                        C              F
Never enough, takin' the world off your shoulders
Am                             C         F
It's never enough, takin' our demons to bed
Am
I don't wanna tell you how to live
               F
I don't wanna tell you how to live your life
     Am
But maybe we just don't know when to quit
               F
Maybe we just don't know when to quit the lie
Am                                       F
Never enough, takin' the world off your shoulders
Am                                       F
It's never enough, takin' our demons to bed


[Bridge]
Am       C     F
Oh-oh-oh, some days you're crashin' like a wave around me
Am       C     F
Oh-oh-oh, some days you pull me underneath and drown me
Am                          C    F
Guess we're not so perfect after all
Am                            C    F
Somethin' dark and somethin' beautiful


[Chorus]
Am                        C              F
Never enough, takin' the world off your shoulders
Am                             C         F
It's never enough, takin' our demons to bed
Am
I don't wanna tell you how to live
               F
I don't wanna tell you how to live your life
     Am
But maybe we just don't know when to quit
               F
Maybe we just don't know when to quit the lie
Am                                       F
Never enough, takin' the world off your shoulders
Am                                       F
It's never enough, takin' our demons to bed


[Outro]
Am       C     F
Oh-oh-oh, some days you're crashin' like a wave around me
Am       C     F
Oh-oh-oh, some days you pull me underneath and drown me
Am                          C    F
Guess we're not so perfect after all
Am                            C    F
Somethin' dark and somethin' beautiful
