[Asus2] So is it[E/G#] courage or s[B/D#]trength
and is t[F#m]hat what I'm w[F#sus2]aiting fo[F#m]r?
[Asus2] If I could[E/G#] just kill my[B/D#]self
would it [F#m]also ki[F#sus2]ll the re[F#m]morse?
[Asus2] I wanted so[E/G#] badly to [B/D#]catch a break
but I'm [F#m]only b[F#sus2]reaking d[F#m]own.
[Asus2] I'm still here and[E/G#] standing
but if it's [B/D#]up to me
I do[F#m]n't t[F#sus2]hink [F#m] I'll be [Asus2] [E/G#] hanging arou[B/D#]nd
The [Esus2]drink slips down my throat
and the [E/G#]burn cures nice and slow.
All the [F#m]worst parts I wouldn't want you to s[B/D#]ee
The only parts left of [Esus2]me
Now, here I am
Just a [C#sus2]kid without a better plan.
But it's the [E/G#]simple thoughts that haunt me the m[F#m]ost.
I [B/D#]never got to see the west coast.
Interlude
[Asus2] [C#sus2]
[Asus2] [C#sus2]
[B/D#]
[Asus2] Spent my[E/G#] nights just asking [B/D#]why
Would G[F#m]od let[F#sus2] me beco[F#m]me like this.
[Asus2] Was it a[E/G#] joke from the [B/D#]start?
Was I supp[F#m]osed to [F#sus2]laugh mo[F#m]re at it?
[Asus2] And everyone's[E/G#] quoting their teachers and [B/D#]preachers
but their w[F#m]ords make me [F#sus2]feel so a[F#m]lone.
Asus2 E/G#~ B/D#~
No one ever says that they've had those thoughts
in the mi[F#m]ddle o[F#sus2]f the ni[F#m]ght.
G#sus2~ E/G#~ B/D#~
No one ever admits that they wanted to take their life.
The dr[Esus2]ink slips down my throat
and the b[E/G#]urn cures nice and slow.
All the w[F#m]orst parts I wouldn't want you to se[B/D#]e
The only parts left of [Esus2]me
Now, here I am
Just a k[C#sus2]id without a better plan.
But it's the [E/G#]simple thoughts that haunt me the m[F#m]ost.
I ne[B/D#]ver got to see the west coast.
Repeat Interlude
C#sus2
But it's the life I dreamed I have
The l[G#/C]ove I find in my grasp
The w[G#m/B]ords I could share with someo[F#/A#]ne.
C#sus2
Those thoughts keep the breath in my lungs
That to[G#/C]morrow my hope will become
ful[G#m/B]filled by a love that can't be un[F#/A#]done.
And [Asus2]save a[E/G#] wretch like [B/D#]me.
Chorus
So if the [Esus2]drink slips down your throat
and the [E/G#]burn cures nice and slow.
All the w[F#m]orst parts you wouldn't want me to se[B/D#]e.
The same parts, I have in [Esus2]me
Now, scares me too we are [C#sus2]both this way.
I feel just like you[E/G#] do.
But when you're by yourself you should k[F#m]now
One [B/D#]day we got to see the west coast.
and is t[F#m]hat what I'm w[F#sus2]aiting fo[F#m]r?
[Asus2] If I could[E/G#] just kill my[B/D#]self
would it [F#m]also ki[F#sus2]ll the re[F#m]morse?
[Asus2] I wanted so[E/G#] badly to [B/D#]catch a break
