Verso 1:

G 
  Just stop the act 
Em 
  You've been climbing up 
   Bm               G 
my back to weigh me down 
         Em 
I attempt  Keeping you and 
         Bm 
all your baggage off the 
G 
ground You're not just 
                   Em 
another nail in my coffin 
           Bm 
You're the box I'm laid 
   G 
to rotten alone in 
    Em 
But don't be surprised 
     Bm 
if I don't make it out- 



 A                  Bm     G 
Alive So get a grip you're losing it 
     Bm             A 
Your time is fading fast 
               Bm     G 
I won't waste another second 
            G              Em 
picking you up when you're falling 



D     G 
Back away I'm 
G            Bm A 
anything but o--kay 
          G 
What's the point of 
D                D/F#    G 
living if you're already dead? 
D        G       G 
Take the best Of everything 
     Bm  A            G 
I've got left I won't waste 
   D           D/F#      G 
my days hating myself to death

Verso 2:
G 
  What's left to say? 
          Em 
I've been heading down 
     Bm             G 
this road or so I'm told 
                         Em 
Apparently I'm out of control 
                Bm 
Apparently I'm about to explode 
G 
  I never thought that 
       A 
I'd be giving you up 
  Bm 
I never thought that I'd 
          D 
be giving you up I never 
G 
  I never thought that you'd 
   A 
be holding me back 
Em 
  I never thought that you'd 
              Em 
be holding me back 



A               Bm     G 
  So get a grip you're losing it 
     Bm             A 
Your time is fading fast 
               Bm     G 
I won't waste another second 
            G              Em 
picking you up when you're falling
