G    Dsus    Cadd9


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

I hope you find out what you want.
                      Cadd9
I already know that I am.


G
 And if it makes you less sad,
                     Dsus
We'll start talking again.

And you can tell me how vile
                      Cadd9
I already know that I am.


G
 I'll grow old
                    Dsus
And start acting my age.

I'll be a brand new day
                   Cadd9
In a life that you hate.


G
 A crown of gold
                               Dsus
And a heart that's harder than stone.

And it hurts a whole lot,
                          Cadd9
But it's missed when it's gone.


G               Dsus
 Call me a safe bet.
                   Cadd9
But I bet that I'm not.
G                      Dsus
 I'm glad that you can forgive, 
                   Cadd9
I'm only hoping as time goes by

You can forget.


G    Dsus    Cadd9


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

You can keep to yourself,
                      Cadd9
I'll keep out of your way.


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

Every picture you pain,
                    Cadd9
I will paint myself out.


G
 It's as cold as a tomb,
                      Dsus
And it's dark in your room,

When I sneak to your bed
                     Cadd9
To pour salt on your wounds.


G
 So call it quits,
         Dsus
Or get a grip.

You say you wanted a solution,
                          Cadd9
But you just wanted to be missed.


G               Dsus
 Call me a safe bet.
                    Cadd9
But I'm betting I'm not.
G                      Dsus
 I'm glad that you can forgive,
                    Cadd9
I'm only hoping as time goes by

That you can forget.


G    Dsus    Cadd9

G
 You are calm and reposed.
                    Dsus
It lets your beauty unfold.

Pale white like the skin
                    Cadd9
Stretched over your bones.


G
 Spring keeps you ever close.
                    Dsus
You are second hand smoke.

You are so fragile and thin.
                        Cadd9
Standing trial for your sins.


G
 Holding onto your self
             Dsus
The best you can.

You are the smell before rain.
                        Cadd9
You are the blood in my veins.

 
G               Dsus
 Call me a safe bet.
                Cadd9
I'm betting I'm not.
G                      Dsus
 I'm glad that you can forgive,
                   Cadd9
I'm only hoping as time goes
                      G
That you can forget.
