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