my shame is true
transcribed by ginge
capo 2nd fret
intro
G / / / G / / / Em / / / Bm / C / x2
verse
G
came up to the surface
Em D
i cannot remember how long i’ve been swimming
C G
drowning
Em
’cause i’ve grown accustomed to all of the sharks
D
and they’re not really breathing
C
uh huh
Em Bm C
now i won’t just mind the gap , i’ll fill it
Em D C
if i’m gonna eat this mosquito of anger
chorus
G Bm C
i haven’t really made the most of this life
G Bm C
from here on i’ll spit back whatever don’t taste right
G Em Bm C
one time i told my heart to shut up
G D C
but i know that i can win back her trust
G D C
i owe at least that much to the both of us
G / / / G / / / Em / / / Bm / C / x2
verse
G Em
developed a knack for this dull conversation
D C
i’d sharpen my wit , but what’s my motivation?
G Em
don’t need to be clever to tell you that i’m just
D C
a total mess and that i must throw that old self away
Em Bm C
if i don’t get right now i will always
Em D C
eat what’s decayed , sleep with the snakes here in this cold grave
chorus
G Bm C
i haven’t really made the most of this life
G Bm C
from here on i’ll spit back whatever don’t taste right
G Em Bm C
one time i told my heart to shut up
G D C
but i know that i can win back her trust
G D C
i owe at least that much to the both of us
verse/outro
Em
i was waiting ( waiting )
C G
for this to happen to happen to me
D
but nothing’s happening
Em C G
i feel my skin as the sun burns in
D
and something in me says let it
G Em
’cause one more look might change it all
Bm C G Em
one more word might change it all
Bm C G Em
one more try might change it all
Bm C G Em
one more kiss might change it all
C Bm Am G
one more look might change it all
