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