Verse 
D                        G 
 I wanna fall asleep forever 
G                     D 
 I wanna learn to disappear 
                                        G             G/D 
Can you take away the mess, that’s been building in my chest 
A                                 G 
  Drowning out the song I used to hear 
D                                  G 
  Love’s a violent word, don’t you forget it 
                             D 
 I ain’t saying that you ever could 
D 
I’ve seen my seasons change 
     G               G/D 
I was crying out your name 
A                 D              G 
Remember when we used to feel so good 
 
    G                           D G D 
So don’t forget to love me in damnation 
        G                D               Em 
For the living I have earned on love gone wrong 
           G                    D   G   D 
And we’ll open up old wounds in celebration 
          G          D                  G 
If we don’t bleed, it don’t feel like a song 

D                       G 
You got your honest intuition 
G                     D 
You got your cigarette smoke 
                                     G             G/D 
And I’m all your oldest fears, the black mark on last year 
A            D               G 
But I got the hope you let me hold 
D                              G 
So let them judge and shove us under 
                    D 
And let them do the devil’s work 
D 
Let them calculate the crimes  
G                 G/D 
in all our broken rhymes 
A                    D                 G 
But let us find the heaven following the hurt 
 
G                                 D G D 
So don’t forget to love me in damnation 
        G              D                 Em 
For the living I have earned on love gone wrong 
          G                      D  G D 
And we’ll open up old wounds in celebration 
           G           D                G 
If we don’t bleed, it don’t feel like a song
