[INTRO]
[Amaj7]
[VERSE 1]
[F#m]Maybe I could swim into your thoughts like your drugs do
[F#m]Paralyze your body Sick and tired of waking up too
[Amaj7]Burning eyes and cigarettes
I'm fa[A6]lling through the couch like a s[Amaj7]uicide mission tonight
My [A6]God, here comes the downside
[C#m]Wild eyes of terror pray for [C#sus2]sex on the beach while
[C#m]Oceans of kerosene will [C#sus2]soak into me
I'm[A] not meant for t[C#m]his world, I just do[B]n't see the p[A]oint
Don't think G#out it,[A] don't over think G#out it [F#m]
[PRE-CHORUS]
And [F#m]life is a [F#sus4]joke
But e[F#sus2]verything's ri[F#m]ding on me t[F#sus4]onight
Been c[F#sus2]ounting the [Amaj7]stars and sc[A]ars
How I'm bec[Amaj7]oming a work of [B]art
[CHORUS]
In desperate [C#m]times and desperate m[E]easures
I come so c[A]lose, my hopes are s[Amaj7]evered by the downside
[F#m7]A million waves in the o[G#m]cean crash at o[A]nce to [Amaj7]make you s[A6]mile[Amaj7]
[VERSE 2]
[F#m]The whispered [F#sus2]words '[F#sus4]You'd b[F#m]etter hide the bullets'
You stayed on the phone and t[F#m/E]alked to me d[A]ay and night
Trigger my nightmare once ag[A]ain
And it's fking loaded in h[F#m]and
And we'll let the [C#m]fire rag[F#m]e
The smoke and the [C#m]drowning flames
My b[A]edroom computer light is the only menace to my new faux wooden blinds
[CHORUS]
In desperate [C#m]times and desperate m[E]easures
I come so c[A]lose, my hopes are s[Amaj7]evered by the downside
[F#m7]A million waves in the [G#m]ocean crash at o[A]nce to [Amaj7]make you s[A6]mile[Amaj7]
[C#m]Now, I only p[E]ray when it all goes d[B]own
I'll be sur[Amaj7]rounded by all [C#m]of the ones I've [B/D#]loved and cared G#[E]out
And then [F#m]burn it down
[C#m][SOLO]
[PRE-CHORUS]
[F#m]And life is a [F#sus4]joke
But at [F#sus2]least I can l[F#m]ove you, naked and [F#sus4]tattooed
[F#sus2]Counting the s[Amaj7]tars and sc[A]ars
And if the [Amaj7]pain is a sound, let's slow it down[C#m]
[CHORUS]
Desperate t[C#m]imes and desperate me[E]asures
I come so c[A]lose, my hopes are s[Amaj7]evered by the downside
[F#m7]A million waves in the [G#m]ocean crash at o[A]nce to [Amaj7]make you s[A6]mile[Amaj7]
[C#m]Now, I only p[E]ray when it all goes d[B]own
I'll be sur[Amaj7]rounded by all [C#m]of the ones I've l[B/D#]oved and cared G#[E]out
And then [F#m]burn it down
[ENDING]
F#m F#sus2 C#m E C#m [x2]
[F#m] Your serotonin's [F#sus2]gone
[C#m] The kerosene is go[E]ne[C#m]
[F#m] The sunset is [Gsus2]gone
C#m E C#m ...
So hold on
