If it makes you less sad,
                   Bbm
I will die by your hand.

I hope you find out what you want.
                      B
I already know that I am.


Gb
 And if it makes you less sad,
                     Bbm
We'll start talking again.

And you can tell me how vile
                      B
I already know that I am.


Gb
 I'll grow old
                    Bbm
And start acting my age.

I'll be a brand new day
                   B
In a life that you hate.


Gb
 A crown of gold
                               Bbm
And a heart that's harder than stone.

And it hurts a whole lot,
                          B
But it's missed when it's gone.


Gb (let ring)   Bbm (let ring)
 Call me a safe bet.
                   B (let ring)
But I bet that I'm not.
Gb (let ring)            Bbm (let ring)
I'm glad that you can forgive,
                   B (let ring)
I'm only hoping as time goes by

You can forget.

 If it makes you less sad,
                     Bbm
I'll move out of the state.

You can keep to yourself,
                      B
I'll keep out of your way.


Gb
 And if it makes you less sad,
                            Bbm
I'll take your pictures all down.

Every picture you pain,
                    B
I will paint myself out.


Gb
 It's as cold as a tomb,
                      Bbm
And it's dark in your room,

When I sneak to your bed
                     B
To pour salt on your wounds.


Gb
 So call it quits,
         Bbm
Or get a grip.

You say you wanted a solution,
                          B
But you just wanted to be missed.

Gb
 You are calm and reposed.
                    Bbm
It lets your beauty unfold.

Pale white like the skin
                    B
Stretched over your bones.


Gb
 Spring keeps you ever close.
                    Bbm
You are second hand smoke.

You are so fragile and thin.
                        B
Standing trial for your sins.


Gb
 Holding onto your self
             Bbm
The best you can.

You are the smell before rain.
                        B
You are the blood in my veins.
