Verse 

C            G        F     C 
I think I'm having a heart attack 
           G           F                G         C 
I've done too much of what I shouldn't have done 
      G         F            C       G 
If I could you know I would take it back 
C     G          F      C 
Wide awake in a lot of pain  
            G         F            G        C 
Thinking I might not see the next day and 
        G            F         C        G       F 
Hoping that I got it in me to see this through 
C      G             F          C 
I say things that I can't take back 
         G       F         G        C 
I torch bridges while I attack and 
      G        F        C        G 
Compensate by laying myself out flat 

        C                 F                   G 
I just hope I live long enough to be able to see you again 
       C                    F                        G 
And I hope I don't have to suffer the night without you at the end 
   F                        C 
I hate every second of the god damn day 
         F                        C 
Give me anything you got I don't care, 
              G 
It's all the same 

Verse 

C                                    F 
I need something to take so I don't feel any more 
                              C 
Need something stronger than the night before, 
                          F     
I need it before its too late 
C                            F 
When it hits me I, I didn't have a choice 
                               C 
I'm screaming so loud I can't hear my own voice 
                 F 
Just make it go away 

Bridge 

          C         G   C         F 
And I'll just focus on trying to breathe 
          C         G   C         F 
And I'll just focus on trying to breathe 
          C         G   C         F 
And I'll just focus on trying to breathe 
          C         G   C         F 
And I'll just focus on trying to breathe
