A              Bm            F#m 
I am not the catcher in the rye 
         A                Bm 
No i've got no plans in saving you 
      F#m 
From wanting to die 
A            Bm            F#m 
Gave up on myself so long ago 
           A                  Bm            F#m 
That it'd feel like a lie to cheer you up so 


  Aadd9                                         F#m 
I hope you find that something that keeps you alive 
      Aadd9                           F#m 
And i hope that it is pure and never leaves your side 
  Aadd9                                         F#m 
I hope you find that something that keeps you alive 
     Bm                                      Aadd9 
But baby it just can't be me i am destine to die 


Verse 

A                Bm            F#m 
You were not a solvent to my cries 
        A                Bm              F#m 
But i think that that's okay because neither was i 
A                  Bm           F#m 
Please ignore all of the hullabaloo 
        A                        Bm 
I just want you to know that no matter what 
     F#m 
My deaths not because of you 


  Aadd9                                         F#m 
I hope you find that something that keeps you alive 
      Aadd9                           F#m 
And i hope that it is pure and never leaves your side 
  Aadd9                                         F#m 
I hope you find that something that keeps you alive 
     Bm                                      Aadd9 
But baby it just can't be me i am destine to die 


 Bm                                      Aadd9 
Baby it just can't be me i am destine to die
