Intro
D A D A
[Verse]
D
I hope my absence haunts you like a ghost
A
Eating away at you from time to time
D A
I know I’m absent from your life and mind but you still haunt mine
[Verse]
Bm A
There’s a different kind of emptiness you left me with after all of this
G D
And I can’t wrap my head around the fact that you’re not coming back
Bm A
There’s a chemical imbalance that you left inside my brain
G D G
You’re the reason why the alcohol is still rotting in my veins
[Chorus]
Bm D
I’ll be ok this is something I can get through
G Bm D
But I don’t know if I can say the same about you
[Verse]
D A
I know a world of stability is all that you could ever see and when everything falls apart
Dear God I know it’ll fall apart
D A
I hope you buckle at your knees and think of me
[Verse]
Bm
I’ll leave you with this emptiness as your parting gift
A
These heavy words I know you can’t lift
D
(Between the two of you there’ll be a common rift)
And thats me. The problem you can’t fix
Bm A
The chemicals have balanced as I’m writing off your name
D G
I hope the thought of us and broken trust stays frozen in his brain
[Chorus]
Bm D
I’ll be ok this is something I can get through
G Bm D
But I don’t know if I can say the same about you
[Bridge]
G
Truth be told we are not the same
A
B future sold that was built on blame
Bm
I pray you can’t bear the guilt and shame
D
I’ll stay a thorn in your side that’s worn with pain
G
Day in day out it won’t get better
A
Even your friends say forever fair-weather
Bm D G
Stay stuck. You’re a stormy sky with an idle mind you deserve each other
[Outro]
A Bm
And I’ve been picking you apart in my head
G A Bm
Trying to see between you and me if there was anything worth keeping
I’m empty handed once again
D G D
Constant consent. You lied to him about the time we spent.
G Bm
Relapse. Repent. Your judgement lapse came and went.
D
You said that life was built on compromise
G
B statement laced with fraying ties on borrowed time you’ll never find
Bm D
So in the end you took what was yours and stole what was mine.
