Am  C  D
 
 
[Verse]

Am   C       D     Am 
   I hurt myself today 
  
   C      D       Am
To see if I still feel

  C    D        Am   
I focus on the pain   

    C      D          Am
The only thing that's real

    C      D       Am  
The needle tears a hole
   
    C      D       Am
The old familiar sting

       C      D      Am      
Try to kill it all away   but 

    C      D      G
I remember everything
 
 
[Chorus]

Am              F   
What have I become? 
  
C               G
  My sweetest friend

Am          F             C        G
Everyone I know  goes away in the end

    Am                 F   
And you could have it all 
  
G               G
My empire of dirt

Am              F   
I will let you down  
  
G                Am
I will make you hurt
 
 
[Transition]

 Am    C  D  Am    C  D
 
 
[Verse]

Am   C         D        Am    
   I wear this crown of thorns   

 C      D       Am
Upon my liar's chair

C       D        Am   
Full of broken thoughts  

 C     D    Am
 I cannot repair

  C          D        Am    
Beneath the stains of time   

    C       D       Am
The feelings disappear

C         D      Am    
You are someone else  
 
C     D           G
I am still right here
 
 
[Chorus]

Am              F   
What have I become? 
 
 C               G
   My sweetest friend

Am          F  
Everyone I know  

         C        G 
Goes away in the end

    Am                 F  
And you could have it all   

G            G
My empire of dirt

Am              F  
I will let you down 
  
G               G
I will make you hurt
 
 
[Outro]

   Am               F    
If I could start again  a 

G              G
Million miles away

Am              F  
I would keep myself  

G
I would find a way
