key of C : these chords are relative to capo 3!

A2
it’s time i said this
F#m
but i’m so choked up and i need my sanity
D2 E A2
i’m scared , believe me , you can see me smile if you let me just stick around .

A2
well this is bye – bye baby
F#m
it isn’t like a sudden stop on a freight train
D2 E A2
if you’re not happy and you hurt this much , then let me just stick around .

D2 E
but can i have one second of your time?
D2
if i don’t it’ll drive me crazy .
E
as i drop to my knees and scream ,
i hate you more than you could know .

A2
i hope you fall into the ocean
E E/F F#m
and the current leaves you helpless , swimming around
E D2 E
as the waves crash over you until you drown .
( and fall away . . )
A2
and hold a funeral for nothing
E E/F F#m
and celebrate how empty love can be broken
E D2 E A2
it takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground

A2
now it’s back to reality
F#m
i’m up in shambles but i guess that’s how i should be
D2 E
i knew the wedding bells were ringing well , but my bride was missing .

A2
it’s not supposed to hurt this much
F#m
but when someone slowly breaks it off
D2 E A2
it tends to leave a bitter taste , a scar , that slowly rips apart .

D2 E
could i have one second of your time?
D2
if i don’t , it’ll drive me crazy .
E
as i drop to my knees and scream ,
i hate you more than you could know .

A2
i hope you fall into the ocean
E E/F F#m
and the current leaves you helpless , swimming around
E D2 E
as the waves crash over you until you drown .
( and fall away . . )
A2
and hold a funeral for nothing
E E/F F#m
and celebrate how empty love can be broken
E D2 E A2
it takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground

F#m D2
F#m D2
underground . .

F#m
i’ve had enough , but it’s all for the best .
E
i need to get a few things off my chest .
C#m
there’s got to be another way i can say it ,
D2 E
but to get it right , i have to think straight .
F#m
hope he tastes like the way i used to taste .
E C#m
i can’t believe i’d even say this to you now .
D2 E A2
when you won’t listen at all .

A2
i hope you fall into the ocean
E E/F F#m
and the current leaves you helpless , swimming around
E D2 E
as the waves crash over you and over you until you drown .
A2
and hold a funeral for nothing
E E/F F#m
and celebrate how empty love can be broken
E D2 E
it takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground
F#m E D2 Dm A2
it takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground .
