Tom: C
C
I wish our skin would meet
G
A sting I wish would bleed
Am F
Like toothpicks sliding under fingernails
C
Don't you need a breath of air?
G
'Cause you're biting at my head
Am F
Like starving great whites feeding in the deep end
Am G
And I wish I was just as strong as I make myself out to be
[Chorus]
C Dm
I'm twisting my words to appear like
F Am
This doesn't burn
F
I'm staring at the sun, paper cuts are in my eyes
C G
Shrinking our worth, mixing fiction
Am
With crime like a substance
F
I'm addicted to diving into the salt tides
[Verse 2]
C
I took you like a thief
G
A pinch that doesn't leave
Am F
It's like ice cubes grinding at your front teeth
C
And I miss you while you talk
G
It's a comforting sense of shock
Am F
Feels like silver caught inside a toaster
Am G
And I wish I was just as strong as I make myself out to be
[Chorus]
C Dm
I'm twisting my words to appear like
C
This doesn't burn
Am F
I'm staring at the sun, paper cuts are in my eyes
C Dm
Shrinking our worth, mixing fiction
Am
With crime like a substance
F
I'm addicted to diving into the salt tides
[Instrumental]
C Dm Am F
[Bridge]
C
A fever that I'll never break
G
'Cause I keep pushing pills away
Am F
Just to see my body shake
C
Expensive red wine, I hate the taste
G
And how the slightest spill will stain
Am F
I drink with you anyway
Am G
'Cause I know that I'm not as strong as I make myself out to be
[Chorus]
C D
I'm twisting my words to appear like
Dm Am
This doesn't burn
F
I'm staring at the sun, paper cuts are in my eyes
C Dm
Shrinking our worth, mixing fiction
Am
With crime like a substance
F
I'm addicted to diving into the salt tides
C Dm
I'm twisting my words to appear like
Am
This doesn't burn
F
I'm staring at the sun, paper cuts are in my eyes
C G
Shrinking our worth, mixing fiction
Am
With crime like a substance
F
I'm addicted to diving into the salt tides
[Outro]
C Am F
I wish I was just as strong as I make myself out to be
