[Intro]
F#m7    F#m6    x2

[Verse 1]
F#m7         F#m6
  Why am I awake?
F#m7            F#m6
  Nails on the floor and
            Dmaj7
soot on my tongue
                    C#+
  I don't know his name,
             F#m7         F#m6
but I still taste the rum
F#m7                  F#m6
  Nothing there but skin
F#m7          F#m6
  Skeletons crawl on the
               Dmaj7
ceiling, they know
                    C#+
  That him and his aftershave
       F#m7       F#m6
  hit like a drug
F#m7    F#m6

[Chorus]
      Dmaj7
Don’t answer me, I'm callin'
         E
just to hear you scream
            Bm7
And you’re fadin', but
              F#m7       C#m7
he feels like you in between
     Dmaj7
I've said too much,
               E
in and out of wantin' us
            Bm7
Now you're fadin' and
         F#m7       C#m7 Dmaj7
I wonder who will erase me?
           C#+  F#m7    F#m6
Who will erase me?
F#m7    F#m6

[Verse 2]
F#m7              F#m6
  Race you to the end
F#m7            F#m6
  My innocence waits like
                   Dmaj7
  it desperately knows
              C#+
  That I'll crash if
            F#m7 F#m6
I don't lеt you go
