  			(intro) C     B  

Oh yeah  
Oh yeah  

C  
 So scared of breaking it  
      B              Em  
But you won't let it bend  
C  
 And I wrote two hundred letters  
B            Em  
I won't ever send  
C  
 Somehow these cuts are so much 
B                Em  
Deeper then they seem  
C  
 You'd rather cover up  
B                   Em  
I'd rather let them be  

      C  
So let me be  
           B  
And I'll set you free  
  
Em     Am    D    G  
  I    am in misery  
        Em          Am  
There ain't no other  
         D      G  
Who can comfort me  
Em    Am        D      G  
 Why  won't you answer me?  
      Em         Am     D      G  
Your silence is slowly killing me  

Em               Am  
 Girl you really got me bad  
D                  G  
 You really got me bad  
Em                 Am  
 I'm gonna get you back  
D              G  
Gonna get you back  

(same chords as the 1st verse)  

Your salty skin and how  
It mixes in with mine  
The way it feels to be  
Completely intertwined  
It's not that I didn't care  
It's that I didn't know  
It's not what I didn't feel,  
It's what I didn't show  
So let me be  
And I'll set you free  

(Refrão)  
(I am in misery...)  

C  
Say your faith is shaken  
B  
You may be mistaken  
Em  
You keep me wide awake and  
G  
Waiting for the sun  
C  
I'm desperate and confused  
B  
So far away from you  
G  
I'm getting here  
B  
Don't care where I have to go  

Em   Am     D           G  
 Why do you do what you do to me, yeah  
Em   Am     D           G  
 Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah  
Em   Am     D           G  
 Why do you do what you do to me yeah  
Em   Am     D           G  
 Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah  

(Refrão)  
(I am in misery...)
