[Verse 1]
G#m
I thought about
                   E      
Giving up everything I own
            C#m
 and then moving out
            F#
I'm a prisoner in this home
             G#m        
I keep my curtains shut,
                  E
 sabotage everything I love
          C#m               
For a temporary feeling that
             F#
 only left me numb, damn

[Pre-Chorus]
 G#m          E          (Palm Mute Hits Twice)
Some days, I'm a kamikaze
     C#m              
There's no way you can
        F#
 fucking stop me

[Chorus]
              G#m         
I can't look back when the
            E
 memories look like that
            C#m                   
I took the blade out of
 my pocket, 
           F#
cut the strings that 
were attached
     G#m                  
I'm bad, and they say they
           E
 that the good die last
        C#m                
My hesitation is the enemy,
      F#
 I guess this is the end of me

[Verse 2]
   G#m            E
God damn, I just got 
some bad news
            C#m           
I lost some more friends, 
           F#
got their names tattooed
         G#m            E
I take my .45, point it right
 at you
                  C#m        
'Cause you can't take nothing
                  F#
 away from me, I got 
 nothing to lose

[Pre-Chorus]
G#m         E             (Palm Mute Hits Twice)
Some days, I'm a kamikaze
C#m             F#
There's no way you can
