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