[Intro]
Em        D     G    C       B7

[Verse 1]
            Em    D        G
I hear your voice   but it never
      C              B7
quite fills the voids
                     Em              D
Thought that we were doomed for good,
    G                     C     B7
but love is never like it should
          Em               D
Like an arranged, meeting astranged
     G          C              B7
if I gave you a day
             Em
But I can't imagine what even 
D       G          C        B7
happens beyond the pain

[Pre-Chorus]
Em        D   G       C
  See the sun leading   us to the land
         B7
  of the lost and to the reason-less.
Em         D    G       C
  Hear the drum beating us,
                  B7       N.C.
  I'll forever surrender.

[Chorus]
              Em   D G   C      B7
I don't wanna live     a meaningless
              Em   D G   C      B7
I don't wanna live     a meaningless
             Em    D  G     C    B7
life without you,
             Em    D   G    C    B7
Life without you.

I'm tired of good boys sleeping
on my chest

You wanna rip my heart out, baby,

life is fuckin' meaningless

the rest is meaningless,
