[Intro]
Em D Bm C [x2]

[Verse 1]
Em             D             Bm
       Water never seemed deeper
                          C
And weeping never seemed colder
Em                   D
       Holding the picture 
       I'm thinking
Bm                           
       Of sleeping with your 
                    C
       head on my shoulder

[Pre-chorus 1]
    C
But if the ocean buries us
Em
How long will your body last
G                            D
Undiscovered by the morning light
C
When your mind is turned to dust
Em
By the whispers from the past
G                      
There is nothing worse 
          D
than being right

[Chorus]
                        C
And I'm haunted by the voices
           Em
All the bad choices
      D
And all the static noise that's
            B
Poisoning my brain
C
   Saying I'm not worth it
         Em
Feeling like I'm forced into
  D
Killing my remorse
          B
And what remained
    Em
Of me

[Interlude]
Em    D    Bm    C

[Verse 2]
Em                    D
       The sky has become 
       overwhelming
Bm                            C
       I'm getting desensitized
Em                  D
       Finding the air too heavy
Bm                           C
       To tell if I'm even alive

[Pre-chorus 2]
    C
But if we dive into the ground
Em
How long till your body's found
G                              D
Salvaged by another dauntless man
     C
When I can barely make a sound
Em
Will your head still turn around
G                            D
Too distracted for my shaking hands

[Chorus]
                        C
And I'm haunted by the voices
           Em
All the bad choices
      D
And all the static noise that's
            B
Poisoning my brain
C
   Saying I'm not worth it
         Em
Feeling like I'm forced into
  D
Killing my remorse
          B
And what remained
    C
Of me

[Bridge]
C
     Scream them all away
Em                      D
     Burn that cancer down
                              B
Before I cannot hear a word you say
          C
Before I drown
          Em
Before I drown
            D
Don't let me drown
  B
No

[Chorus]
                           C
'Cause I'm haunted by the voices
           Em
All the bad choices
      D
And all the static noise that's
            B
Poisoning my brain
C
   Saying I'm not worth it
         Em
Feeling like I'm forced into
  D
Killing my remorse
          B
And what remained
    Em
Of me
