[Intro]
G#m B G#m B
G#m B F#
[Verse 1]
G#m
I cannot believe
B
what you get away with
G#m
You find beauty in
B
anything
G#m
Whenever you look down
B
into a sewer
F#
You see a diamond ring
G#m
It isn't fair how you never
B
look like you're trying
G#m
As if you couldn't
B
care any less
G#m
And I'm here, kicking
B
myself to keep from crying
F#
You say you're impressed
[Chorus]
E B
But this isn't helping at all
E
It only makes me wanna
B
get further off
E B
This isn't helping at all
F#
This isn't helping
[Verse 2]
G#m
You say that this
B
doesn't have to hurt
G#m
You're there if you
B
need to be found
G#m B
Can't you see that that makes
it so much worse?
F#
I'll always see you around
G#m
Maybe in time, we can
B
give it one morе try
G#m
But let's think about
B
what matters now
G#m
Keep kicking yourself
B
to keep from crying
F#
That, you'rе so right about
[Chorus]
E
'Cause this isn't helping
B
at all
E
I know you think it's kindness,
B
but it's not
E B
This isn't helping at all
F#
This isn't helping
[Bridge]
C#m
Don't say that it's
G#m
all your fault
C#m
I know you're banking
G#m
on it coming up
C#m
But would your life
G#m
be so bad
F#
If you knew every single
thought I had?

Well, just when I thought
F#
You don't even notice me at all
