E
They tend to misunderstand the paper man
G
With scissor hands who watches the hourglass for grains of sand
D
To fall and fall again as he pretends
A
That everything he lays his hands on doesn't turn to shreds
E
But why oh why does he persist to hide
G
When they insist he try to come outside
D
From the shell he lives inside
Now he's been hypnotized and
A
Despite the lies he sits and waits to die
E
'Cause he can't find no words to explain the rain
G
All his emotions are transformed and now become pain
D
He's alive in a black hole empty in space
A
And he sits in front of the mirror and he's face to face
E
With the sadness, confusion his patience he's losing
G
He's substance-abusing he's one with the music
D
And he needs a little something to dial it all back
A
'Cause he's running in a race but he's not on track
[Chorus]
E
Love don't live here anymore,
G
It's been cold since you went away
D
Now I've been trying to get myself together,
A
Is there something I can say that'll make you stay
E
Love don't live here anymore,
G
It's been cold since you went away
D
I've been trying to get my head together,
A
But things just don't seem to go my way
N.C.
Love can be so cold…
N.C.
Love can be so cold…
[MONOXIDE VERSE 1]
E
All I see when I'm looking at you is me
G
And everyday gets a little bit harder
D
Like a piece of my life's puzzle that’s been slipped under the carpet
A
Until this day, I'm feeling like I'm never gonna find it
E
I smoke a cigarette and hope for the best
G
But sometimes that cigarette is just smoke in the chest,
D
I lay in bed but it's nothing to do with getting rest
A
Instead I use it as an escape from all the mess
E
Nothing seems to matter
G
I'm only getting sadder and sadder
'Cause I'm not even sure what I'm after
D
I know my life's a disaster and I better straighten it out
A
And stand tall or fall victim of getting caught in
E
A spiraling downfall of emotion that I call
G
Devotion and destruction of everything and it's my fault
D
I'm hoping to try more let's open up my door
A
And let em know that I'm bringing me back like encore
[Chorus]
E
Love don't live here anymore,
G
It's been cold since you went away
D
Now I've been trying to get myself together,
A
Is there something I can say that'll make you stay
E
Love don't live here anymore,
G
It's been cold since you went away
D
I've been trying to get my head together,

But things just don't seem to go my way

E G
I'm an example of a bad example and as ample as it may seem
A sample of this poisonous apple.
D
I may be rattle a daydream
A
But I'm giving you reality checks and if you get it then it's properly spent
E
If you can't handle it yet gimme a sec
G
I'll make ya proud of me instead of surrounding me
D
Totally hounding me, expecting me to be like all the rest
A
And I gotta be honest I'm not sure who the fuck I am on a constant basis
E G
So many faceless faces that I'm faced with
Who the fuck am I? What a shame it's
D
Not so much the lies I'm just lost in my mind
A
Tryna find what it is that makes me feel right inside
E
And I'm submerged by the urge to make it by day and night
G
I'm in the struggle looking to fight for the right
D
To be more than just alright...
A
And I'm looking for more light
So I can see what I got in store for my life
[Chorus]
E
Love don't live here anymore,
G
It's been cold since you went away
D
Now I've been trying to get myself together,
A
Is there something I can say that'll make you stay
E
Love don't live here anymore,
G
It's been cold since you went away
D
I've been trying to get my head together,
A
But things just don't seem to go my way
