intro-G,Em,C,G,Em,C,G
 
G
I am waiting 'til there's nothing left 
I'm a prayer, all you see is breath
    Em            C                    G
I am empty, I am skin and bones, I'm a ribcage 
Well, I'm out the door with apathy
And I'm coming home with sympathy
     Em            C                  G
I am realize, I am shame, I choose to stay here 
Em                 C
You got a sign, so I pay a ransom 
G               D
You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come 
Em                    C
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm 
   D
My arm 
 
Pre verse-G,Em,C,G,Em,C,G
 
G
There's a song I love so much I stole 
Every precious note I took, I sold
      Em                      C                    G
Now I spit out words.  Do you see my lungs on the dancefloor?
G
To a hopeless cause, I sold my soul      
                                         Em
A romantic plastic piece of shit you can mold 
        C                   G
Until I break into chokable pieces 
Em                 C
You got a sign, so I pay a ransom
G               D
You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come
Em                    C
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm
D
My arm
 
Solo-G,Em,C,G,Em,C
 
Em                     C
And I open up like the back of a book 
G                      D
I ruin everything with just a quick look
Em                   C
I settle down like a rocket explodes
G                       D
Hit the ground, but how far out who knows
Em                 C
You got a sign, so I pay a ransom
G                   D
You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come
Em                    C                          D
Had a nice grip on my life untill you twisted my arm 
 
my arm
end on G
