D 
Everywhere is still  
             Em                 G 
everything is restless in my heart  
                     D 
i hate the way this feels  
       Em                     G 
suddenly i'm scared to be apart 
          Em                          C 
 the days are dark when you're not around 
C                             D 
 the air is getting hard to breathe 
G                               Em 
 i wish that you would just put me down  
C                       D 
i wish that i could go to sleep  

Chours: 
G               Em 
loving you is suicide 
C                               Em 
 i don't know should go or should i stay 
G               Em 
 i'm tryna to keep myself alive 
C                                        Em 
 knowing there's a chance it's all too late 
 C                      D 
but i heard you say you love me  
G                       Em 
that's the part i can't forget 
C                       Em 
 and i wish that you come save me 
 G                      D  
cos i'm standing over the edge  
        D 
i should let you go 
                Em              G 
 tell myself the things i need to hear  
        D 
but my brain is wired wrong  
                Em              G 
that's why i'm loving you when you're not here  
        Em                               C 
feels like i drown in your every word 
        G                             Em                 
and every breath that's in between 
        C                       D 
 somehow you got me where it really hurts  
 Em             C 
it's killing every part of me  
Chours!! 
G       Em     C      D 
loving you is suicide  
G                       Em 
and my world's about to break 
  
G     Em    C     D 
and i.. 
. G             D 
had as much as i can take  
C               Em 
and love is a long way down  
G               Em 
loving you is suicide 
C                       Em 
 and it's getting harder everyday  
G               Em 
i'm tryna to keep myself alive  
C                       Em 
knowing there's a chance it's all too late  
C                       D 
and i'm way past every moment  
G                       Em 
but i'm still determined to fight  
C                                               D 
and i know it's taking all my strength to keep emotions alive  
G               Em 
loving you is suicide
