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