C F#dim
I can't stand feeling violent
F C
But it's hard not to sometimes

When the innocent get slaughtered

And the guilty get a fine

When I drown myself in chemicals

Do I even have a choice?

F C
Are you even making noise?
C G
All I wanna do is hold you
F C
But I'm afraid I'll squeeze too tight

Until the energy leaves your body
F C
And the tears fall from your eyes
