A2
It's time I said this
F#m
But I'm so choked up and I need my sanity
D2 E A2
I'm scared, believe me, you can see me smile if you let me just stick around.
A2
Well this is bye-bye baby
F#m
It isn't like a sudden stop on a freight train
D2 E A2
If you're not happy and you hurt this much, then let me just stick around.
D2 E
But can I have one second of your time?
D2
If I don't it'll drive me crazy.
E
As I drop to my knees and scream,
I hate you more than you could know.
A2
I hope you fall into the ocean
E E/F F#m
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
E D2 E
As the waves crash over you until you drown.
(And fall away..)
A2
And hold a funeral for nothing
E E/F F#m
And celebrate how empty love can be broken
E D2 E A2
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground
A2
Now it's back to reality
F#m
I'm up in shambles but I guess that's how I should be
D2 E
I knew the wedding bells were ringing well, but my bride was missing.
A2
It's not supposed to hurt this much
F#m
But when someone slowly breaks it off
D2 E A2
It tends to leave a bitter taste, a scar, that slowly rips apart.
D2 E
Could I have one second of your time?
D2
If I don't, it'll drive me crazy.
E
As I drop to my knees and scream,
I hate you more than you could know.
A2
I hope you fall into the ocean
E E/F F#m
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
E D2 E
As the waves crash over you until you drown.
(And fall away..)
A2
And hold a funeral for nothing
E E/F F#m
And celebrate how empty love can be broken
E D2 E A2
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground
F#m D2
F#m D2
Underground..
F#m
I've had enough, but it's all for the best.
E
I need to get a few things off my chest.
C#m
There's got to be another way I can say it,
D2 E
But to get it right, I have to think straight.
F#m
Hope he tastes like the way I used to taste.
E C#m
I can't believe I'd even say this to you now.
D2 E A2
When you won't listen at all.
A2
I hope you fall into the ocean
E E/F F#m
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
E D2 E
As the waves crash over you and over you until you drown.
A2
And hold a funeral for nothing
E E/F F#m
And celebrate how empty love can be broken
E D2 E
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground
F#m E D2 Dm A2
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground.
