[Intro]

Am    C  D  Am    C  D


[Verse 1]

Am   C      D      Am       C      D       Am
   I hurt myself today   to see if I still feel
C       D      Am         C       D        Am
I focus on the pain   the only thing that's real
C        D        Am          C      D      Am
The needle tears a hole   the old familiar sting
     C       D      Am           C       D       G          
Try to kill it all away   but I remember everything


[Chorus]

Am              F     C               G
What have I become?     My sweetest friend
Am          F             C        G
Everyone I know  goes away in the end
    Am                 F    G               G
And you could have it all   My empire of dirt
Am              F      G                Am
I will let you down    I will make you hurt


[Transition]

Am    C  D  Am    C  D


[Verse 2]

Am   C         D        Am         C      D     Am
   I wear this crown of thorns   upon my liars chair
C          D        Am    C     D     Am
Full of broken thoughts   I cannot repair
C           D         Am         C       D      Am
Beneath the stains of time   the feeling disappears
C         D      Am    C     D     G
You are someone else   I am still right here


[Chorus 2]

Am              F     C               G
What have I become?     My sweetest friend
Am          F             C        G
Everyone I know  goes away in the end
    Am                 F    G            G
And you could have it all   My empire of dirt
Am              F     G               G
I will let you down   I will make you hurt
   Am               F     G              G
If I could start again  a million miles away
Am              F    G
I would keep myself  I would find a way

Super playable, true to the song, and beautiful! The only thing I would add is an "Am" chord to the last "way". Other than that, it's really nicely done :')
