[Intro]
G D G A Bm
G D A
[Verse 1]
G D
Explain the paranormal
G A
Or just tell me what
Bm
you saw
G
You're having dreams
about the
D A
silhouettes you draw
Bm
And you're still
A G
laying low
G D
But you are hardly
missing
G A Bm
anything at all
G
It's like the fear
of missing
A
out has met its
Bm
match
When you're
what's
A
missing

[Chorus]
G D
I spent my best
years
G
playing mercy
A Bm
with your ghost
G
You'll never beat
me but you're
D A
getting really close
Bm
And you're crushing
A G
up my pills
D A
I'm scared to swallow
(I slow the speed
Bm
of sound,
A
coming from your
G
mouth)
D A
But I always choke
Bm A
And you beg to differ
[Verse 2]
G D
I matched my breath
with your breath
G A Bm
I do it just for fun
G
You'd like to think
I'm counting
D A
Each and every one
Bm A
But I lost my focus
[Pre-chorus]
G D
You call my name
A
With a tin can on
G
a string
D
You can count on me
A
But fuck, who's
counting?
G D
You always said
A
You'd be crying if
you could
G D
I knew what you meant
A
But I still wish you
would
(I still wish you
would)
[Chorus]
G D
I spent my best years
playing
G A Bm
mercy with your ghost
G
You'll never beat me
but you're
D A
getting really close
Bm
And you're crushing
A G
up my pills
D A
I'm scared to swallow
(I slow the speed
Bm
of sound,
A
coming from
G
your mouth)
D A
But I always choke
Bm A
And you beg to differ
[Bridge]
Bm
If I knew half the
things you know
G
I'd never shut the
D
f**k up, oh
You only slept right
A
in the cold
Shoot for the sky
Bm
until someone goes
I wrote it down so
G
I'd remember
D
I need to write my
D
thoughts down more
But I can barely
read
A
my own damn writing
I've always rathered
Em
reading you
I've always
rathered
G
reading yours
[Verse 3]
G
Begged them to
D
burn your body
G A
They buried you
Bm
instead
G
Said you couldn't
tell the
D
difference when
A
you're dead
[Outro]
G D
When I'm scared
A
to swallow
G
Where you go,
D A
I'll follow
I'll follow
