[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 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
