[Verse 1]
N.C.               Gm
There's so much to do
                    D
I'll never have the wherewithal
to do it all again
Gm                             D
   Or fucking do it all at all
           D#
I love you so much,
              F
I don't wanna go but
          A#                  F#
Everybody knows this place is dying,
      Gm
as am I
                        C
I might not get another chance
     F#             F
It's such a careful dance and
            A#
I am such a fuck up
                      F
If you only knew that I am
such a fuck up

[Pre-Chorus]
        A#           A
I've got one hundred hours
   G#            C
to rearrange the stars
                               F
And I'm the worst mistake that God
          A#  A  G#  Gm
has ever made
        F#               F      C
You seem to integrate so fucking well
           D#            F     A#
But I make lemons out of lemonade

[Chorus]
D#                 F
   Blood clots and death cramps,
     A#      D       Gm
   injections and leakages
      C            F
The election cyclе and
          F#  Gm  A#
the tides
C     F              D
Aztec circlеs of the death
         Gm
of all deaths
        D#      F          A#
But the beast refuses to die

[Verse 2]
N.C.
In your guts you know
            D#
it's all destroyed
                   F
You could've had a boy
if you had children
Now you think you might
              Gm
just put them down
                 C
None of us belong,
     F#                 F
everything I do is wrong
                       A#
And soon there will be nobody
left around
Gm
And in your blood,
                  C   F
you know what's right
                  A#
And in your bones,
                     A#  Gm
you know what's wrong
And in your throat,
                C F#      F
you know you're lying to kids
             G#            A# G#
And you know nobody belongs
        Gm
in this hell
                   D#
And there is not a single
               F
choice left to make
    A#           F#
I am God's worst mistake and
         Gm       F
You seem happy on the knife's edge
    C      F             A#
But I just lick the blade

Gm                   D#

invisible hand savior
                F   A#
Fucking up your definitions even
F                        Gm
though it's life or death
Who fuckin' told you you were
C      F#              F
selfish or even self-interested?
                 F A#
Don't you think it matters when
                        Gm
we wish our friends the best

   F#               Gm
I'm not anything at all
                   C        F#
All I wanted was a framework,
                F
none of them can live here
                F  A#
There's nothing to believe in and
                       Gm
there won't be till we fall
                 D#
And it's not all you, man,
                   D
you were just a kid once
                Gm
God, I'm such a fuck up, if you
               C
only knew that I am such a fuck up
