E 
We all lie just to get by 
C#m 
It feels fine for a little while 
A 
I can’t keep it up for long 
B 
Cause I’m spinning a web and I’m stuck and it’s fucked 
E                       C#m 
But I know this will hurt 
                A                  B 
Cause when I’m hurt, I treat you worse 

             E                C#m 
I miss your skin, I miss your touch 
           A 
I never thought it’d hurt this much 
             B 
I hate this feeling in my gut 
                  E                         C#m 
I wish you would quit me, I wish you would just leave 
                 A 
Cause I can never walk away 
           B 
And so it’s up to you to break me 

E 
And I’ll try to say goodbye 
        C#m 
I’ll be fast to save you time 
                             A 
I can’t help but stay the night 
                                   B 
You’re alarmed and you’re hurt and I just make it worse 
        E                  C#m 
When I run through your veins 
                 A                 B 
Cause when I’m hurt, I treat you worse 

             E                C#m 
I miss your skin, I miss your touch 
           A 
I never thought it’d hurt this much 
             B 
I hate this feeling in my gut 
                  E                         C#m 
I wish you would quit me, I wish you would just leave 
             A 
Cause I can never walk away 
            B 
And so it’s up to you to break me 

           E 
You can have my body, just not my soul 
C#m 
Can’t give what’s not mine anymore 
A                                B 
Have my body, just not my soul 
     E 
You can have my body, I’ve lost control 
C#m 
Can’t live on my own anymore 
A                                   B 
Have my body, just not my soul 
E                              C#m 
Have my body, but not my soul 
A                               B 
Have my body, but not my soul 

             E                C#m 
I miss your skin, I miss your touch 
           A 
I never thought it’d hurt this much 
             B 
I hate this feeling in my gut 
                  E                         C#m
