[Intro]
Bb    F    C    Dm
Bb    F    C

[Verse 1]
Bb                F
Don't know how to care anymore
C                            Dm
Yeah you lied and said you'd stay
Bb             F            G
I'm trying but what is it for
C
Knowing that I'll be replaced
Bb                        G
I can't look in the mirror
                C
I can't face myself
                          (Dm)   Bb
My life was a blur at the age of 12
                F     (A)
Don't listen to her regarding
   C
my health
Cause the way that I'm feeling
   (A)      Dm
no one has felt

[Pre-Chorus]
        C        F      Bb
Looking around nobody's here
This is my world now
             Dm
the dust has cleared
               C
My barren wasteland now
  F       Bb
I got no fear
Another one falls vermillion
(Dm)      Bb
heavens appear

[Chorus]
                   F
Now your words are like
               C
shrapnel in my brain
            Dm                Bb
No one else knows this bloody pain
              F                C
Sitting in my room all fucking day
                     Dm
Just knowing there's nothing
               Bb
I could do to save this

[Verse 2]
     F            C
In a week I turn 18
      Dm                  Bb
And I know why you hate me
        F                        C
Staring back at my cracked screen
Can't forget the words
             Bb
you said to me

[Pre-Chorus]
         F              C
Looking around nobody's here
           Dm
This is my world now
             Bb
the dust has cleared
               F
My barren wasteland now
         C
I got no fear
Another one falls
                     Dm
vermillion heavens appear

[Interlude]
C    F

[Bridge]
Bb                          Dm
Now I know you want someone else
      C              F      Bb
Cause you don't care what I felt
     F                     Bb
Yeah you don't care what I felt
             F
I don't need you anymore
C                        Dm
Even though I'm still in pain
Bb                   F
Like a victim now my hearts
still sore
C                       Dm
But now I know I'll be okay
Bb                F
Don't know how to care anymore
C                            Dm
Yeah you lied and said you'd stay
Bb             F
I'm trying but what is it for
C                      Dm
Knowing that I'll be replaced

[Verse 3]
Bb               F
In a week I turn 18
C                  Dm
And I worked out I hate me
Bb                   F
But I'm turning into someone else
C
Just hoping I can break free
Dm            C         F
Forget it, my heart was rented
Bb
I ought to be a better tenant
Dm                   C
Hope the next person looks
F          Bb
after it's health
Cause god knows how that
fucking felt

[Chorus]
                   F
Now your words are like
               C
shrapnel in my brain

No one else knows this bloody pain
              F                C
Sitting in my room all fucking day
                     Dm
Just knowing there's nothing
              Bb
I could do to save this
