[Intro]
Bbm Db F Gb

[Verse 1]
 Bbm           Db   F         Gb
Half of the decade trying to cope
 Bbm           Db
More that I endure,
F                Gb
the sparser the hope
 Bbm           Db
So pry up the tiles
 F               Gb
And gut out the floor
 Bbm             Db
Found the foundations
 F           Gb
Not safe anymore

[Chorus]
 Bbm                 Db
And after the Lord speaks
      F
Baby take me where the
crowd don’t run
 Bbm          Db
And I find myself
          F                      Gb
Waiting filthy with a twisted tongue
       Db         F          Gb
And I hide everything in my head
       Db        F            Gb
And forget everyone that I’ve met
          Db       F     Gb
And I’ll never be open again
        Db           F
Oh how good it must feel
       Bbm       Gb
to not lovе anything

[Verse 2]
 Bbm           Db    F             Gb
Half of the decade, caught in thе rope
 Bbm           Db      F           Gb
Fashion the headache, I’ll be the host

Oh how good it must feel
       Bbm       Gb
to not lovе anything
