[Verse 1]
G                 D
 I'm so scared of falling
  A
Always in and out, up and down,
  Bm               A
 too afraid to be open
G                             D
 I found myself in you and it made
                    A
 me feel so fucking scared
G                 D
'Cause, when I am open
A
All my past and all my pain
        Bm        A
 floats up to the surface
       G                 D
You can even cut me down with

a smile, it hurts so bad
