 Em               C
Girl, I hope you understand
 G           B
I wanted to hold your hand
       Em              C  
But I can't, wanted to be 
                G   B 
your man back then
     Em         C                 G
And you knew I fell for you but you
               B
Just broke my heart in two
       Em           C
I was sad, mad and broken on my bed
 G                   
Hoping I get rid of all 
     B
the voices in my head
 
 
[Verse 1]
       Em              
I was opening a packet 
       C
of an undeveloped med
            G                     
When I was met with a prescription 
      B
of a bullet made of lead
            Em              
And when I woke up in an hour 
      C
in a pool of my own sweat
             G              
I said, "I swear to God I'll 
            B
never even try to sleep again"
      Em                 
So instead I took my pen 
              C
and started writing evidencе
             G
And when I started making sensе
             B
I found that I had reached the end
          Em
Oh, I'm upset, I have no friends
          C
You wanna bet you're just pretend?
               G                
You're just a pet confined within 
               B
the lines of writing
B
You're not shit
    Em                
I thought I stopped my 
 C             G              B
psychopathic ways, I swear I did
          Em             
I said I talked to people 
 C               G             B
'bout the problematic life I lived
              Em                C
They were my neighbors, razor blades
                G                  B
And different flavored pills I hate
              Em       
Therefore I'm not sure, 
          C
leave my last straw
       G                   B
I'm so glad, stuck in the past, 

I said that
 
 
[Chorus]
 Em               C
Girl, I hope you understand
 G           B
I wanted to hold your hand
       Em              C        
But I can't, wanted to be your 
           G
man back then
Em              C
So far I never held you with my arms
G               B
So it's hard to be the one you aren't
Em           C
With instead filled with anxiety
G                      
Always was a part of me, 
B
guess I'm not cut out to be
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em
Somebody 'cause it's not me
        C                     
I'm not used to all the talk, 
            G
it was an introvert
                    B
That had converted feelings 

in the writing
        Em
Used to cope with all my problems
       C
Using notes and lots of rhyming
         G
Used to hope for better days whenever
  B
That's 'bout make me crying
         Em                  
I'm not lying when I say that 
         C
I would rather daily go back
        G                 
To the times I would try be 
     B
the guy the people know
       Em                    
I was fighting with the demons 
        C
hiding far beyond my eyelids
       G                     
On an island full of violence 
      B
in my head that I could pilot
Em           C                G 
Nothing can fill this silence, 
            B
no one can love like I did
Em       C                  G         
Nobody cares, you lied, it's not fair, 
     B
you still deny it
Em           C                G 
Nothing can fill this silence, 
            B
no one can love like I did
Em       C                  G          
Nobody cares, you lied, it's not fair, 
     B
you still deny it
Em                  C   
Oh, the sun don't shine, 
                G
the skies turn gray
           B                   Em
I feel it coursing through my veins
          C            G
I said before I'm not okay
               B        Em
But you don't listen anyway
             C                 G
You know I tried, you turned away
                 B                Em
You straight up lied right to my face
               C               G
You f*cked my life, ruined my day
                B
But you don't know, so I'll say
 
 
[Interlude]

Em   C
Oh
G          B            Em
You don't know so I'll say
C                  G   B
Ooh oh, oh ooh oh, oh,    

You don't know so I'll say
 
 
[Chorus]
 Em               C
Girl, I hope you understand
 G           B
I wanted to hold your hand
       Em              C    
But I can't, wanted to be 
                G    B
your man back then
Em               C
Too bad I know I can't wake up
           G              
Because I lost my weight 
               B
and you don't give a f*ck
      Em             C        
About me, this could be a dream, 
        G
I can't see
                     B
The things that you see, so please, oh
 
 Em               C
Girl, I hope you understand
 G           B
I wanted to hold your hand
       Em              C   
But I can't, wanted to be 
                G     B
your man back then
Em              C
You know I'll play along you
G                B
Were my home I wrote you songs
                Em           C
And now you're dead to me effectively
   G                 B
Removed yourself outside my dream
 
Em
