VERSE 

Cmaj7      G           D6/F# 
You were right, I'll move on 
                     Cmaj7 
But my lungs feel so small 
              G      D6/F# 
I couldn't breathe if I tried 
Cmaj7     G          D6/F# 
I lay my head on the floor 
                         Cmaj7 
My beating heart wanted more 
                  G             D6/F# 
But I'll keep it in and keep you out 

Cmaj7  G            D6/F# 
I'm drowning, I'm drowning 
Cmaj7  G            D6/F# 
I'm drowning, I'm drowning

verse 2 
Cmaj7          G           D6/F# 
And for the longest time I knew  
                               Cmaj7 
There was nothing left for us to do 
        G         D6/F# 
But I tried, oh I try 
 Cmaj7         G   D6/F# 
And in this quiet company 
                                Cmaj7 
There is nothing staring back at me 
        G        D6/F# 
I'm in need of a sound 


 
  C             Em 
Hungry for the kill 
           G              C 
But this hunger it isn't you 
  C        Em                    G                 C 
Voices disappear when you are speaking in sombre tunes 
  C            Em                    G                      C 
I will be the wolf and when you're starving you'll need it too 
  C             Em 
Hungry for the kill 
           G              C 
But this hunger it isn't you 

It isn't you, it isn't

verse 3 
Cmaj7          G        D6/F# 
I grew tall to fill the void 
                                 Cmaj7           G 
Let me go because you are just a shade of what I am 
            D6/F# 
Not what I'll be 
Cmaj7         G    D6/F# 
But in this quiet company  
                                 Cmaj7 
I forgot sometimes just how to breathe 
          G          D6/F# 
Fill my lungs with a sound 


 
  C             Em 
Hungry for the kill 
           G              C 
But this hunger it isn't you 
  C        Em                    G                 C 
Voices disappear when you are speaking in sombre tunes 
  C            Em                    G                      C 
I will be the wolf and when you're starving you'll need it too 
  C             Em 
Hungry for the kill 
           G              C 
But this hunger it isn't you 

It isn't you, it isn't
