Verse
F# E A D
Does it help if I say that I'm sorry?
F#m A D
I know the burning in my blood has made you worry a lot
F# B A D
Like the medicine they gave me that hurt me
E D
If you leave when I'm sleeping could you turn the lights off?
F#m A F#m D
My eyes ache if I wake up bathing in fluorescence
F#m A D
It's hard to shake the phosphenes and iridescence
F#m A D
When intravenous makes me feel heavy
F#m C#m A D
As frail as glass, and fading fast, I think that I'm ready to leave
[Chorus]
F#m E D
So give me one good reason to believe I'm getting better
F#m C#m D
My weight keeps fluctuating and I struggle to remember
F#m E D E C#m
The last time I slept through a night without needing to shed my blood
D
I'm so sick of feeling alone
[Instrumental]
F#m
[Verse 2]
F#
But I can't stop thinking about
F#m F#
Every time that you'd leave me alone in the house
A
And I'd lay in my bed, suffocating with doubt
Over whether I'd manage to function without
D
Having you there to make sure I take what they gave me
F#m
To kill off the pain that I'm going through daily
E D
In every way that I am strong, I am also weak
For all the words my lungs have birthed
F#m
I struggle to speak
To you about anything
E F#
That makes me feel like a burden
[Instrumental]
E D F#m D F# E D E C#m E D
[Bridge]
F#m F# E D
Does it hurt you if I say I can feel the decay?
Bm F#m A D
In a hospital bed I wither away
B F# B A D
Behind the curtains I've been crying almost every night
E D
I don't want to ache like this for the rest of my life
[Chorus]
F#m F# E D
So give me one good reason to believe I'm getting better
F#m C#m D
My weight keeps fluctuating and I struggle to remember
F#m E D E C#m
The last time I slept through a night without needing to shed my blood
D
I'm so sick of feeling alone
[Outro]
