Box In A Heart Chords by The Maine & renforshort

[Intro]

Em7 D Gsus4
Em D G Csus2
 
[Verse]

                     Em
What a lonely way to lie
   D                  G
Pretend that you're alright
Csus2                Em7     
      Then take a handful of 
    D                       G
white pills to make you smile
            Csus2           Em
You haven't been yourself at all
          D                    G
Though I know it's not your fault
C                  Em            
   They left you wondering just 
   D              G
who the heck you are
 
[Pre-chorus]

C            Em7         D               
   There's a box in your heart where you 
G            C 
keep your feelings hidden
          Em     D               G
It's been carefully locked shut
C          Em         D        
   And the house that you call 
     G            C
home feels more like a prison
           Em   Dsus4     
Say you're happier now but,
 G  N.C
  but I figured you out
 
[Chorus]

Em          C         
   I know you swore to 
         G 
tell the truth but 
    D
the truth is hiding
Em         C                 G     D
   And every smile that you sell baby 

I'm not buying
Em        Cmaj7             G   
   The only way you feel alive is  
       Dsus4
when you feel like dying
Em7       C               
   And you won't look me in 
     G 
the eyes because   
 Dsus4
you know you're lying
Em    Cmaj7  G     Dsus4
   Lying, lying, lying, 

you're lying
Em    Cmaj7  Gmaj7
   lying, lying
 
[Verse]

             Em
Out in the deep end
D              G
   Always on defense
C               N.C
   Yeah, you're scared to let your 

own eyes see you cry
   Em7                   D
So what could it hurt to breathe your breath
G               Cmaj7
Scream it out until nothing's left
   Em7          D
No matter what the voices said
        G             Cmaj7
There's better days ahead
 
[Pre-chorus]

C            Em7         D              
   There's a box in your heart where you 
G            C
keep your feelings hidden
          Em     D               G
It's been carefully locked shut
C          Em         D            
   And the house that you call home 
G            C
feels more like a prison
           Em   Dsus4      
Say you're happier now but,
G  N.C
 but I figured you out
 
[Chorus]

Em          C             
   I know you swore to 
         G 
tell the truth but 
    D
the truth is hiding  
Em         C                
   And every smile that you 
G      D
sell baby I'm not buying
Em        Cmaj7             G     
   The only way you feel alive is 
        Dsus4
when you feel like dying
Em7       C                       
   And you won't look me in the 
 G 
eyes because 
 Dsus4
you know you're lying
Em    Cmaj7  G     Dsus4
   Lying, lying, lying, you're lying
Em    Cmaj7  G     Dsus4
   Lying, lying, lying, you're lying
Em    Cmaj7  G     Dsus4
   Lying, lying, lying, you're lying
Em    Cmaj7  Gmaj7
   lying, lying
