We hurt ourselves for fun

our hearts go numb
Dm       Cm   Dm               Bb      
Addicted to a lonely kind of love
What I wanna know

[Chorus: Oli Sykes]
                  Dm  
I'm running outta teardrops, 
F                Bb 
let it hurt till it stops
                Dm 
I can't keep my grip, 
    F             Bb      Eb
I'm slipping away from me
Dm       C             G   
Oh, God, everything is so fked, 
                   Dm
but I can't feel a thing
    F            Bb       
The emptiness is heavier 
 Eb           Dm
than you think

[Verse 2: Oli Sykes]
I'm tripping on the edge
Bb                        
High as a kite, I'm never 
           Dm
coming down
And if you hear me, 
                      Bb   
guess you know how it feels
To be alone

[Pre-Chorus: Oli Sykes]
So how'd we get this stressed out, 
paranoid?
C
Everything is going dark
Bb  
Nothing makes me sadder 
than my head

I'm slipping away from me

Suicidal, violent tragic

Lost my halo, now I'm my 
own anti-christ

Lost my halo, now I'm my 
own anti-christ
