Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Em][Am][G][C][Em][C][G][Em]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Left in the corner collecting dust
[Em]Patiently [Esus4]waiting while my fing[Em]ers rust
I was [Dm]locked in the coffin case
Not [G]even on display

[Verse 2]
[Am]As you fret my frets decay
You [Em]pick up your other and you strum away
I [Dm]listen from the other room
[D]Try [Dm]to p[G]ull you out of tune

[Verse 3]
[F]
Thought I was everything
you [C]need
Thought at least you'd
want to see it [F]through
And I was caught in [C]between
Giving up and calling out [F]to you
Am I coming [C]through?

[Verse 4]
[C]Now you don't even [E]write
the chords down
You don't even [F]play me
[Am]anyhow [C]anymore
Now you just [E]keep cranking them out
Like [Em]you're try[F]ing to numb [Am]yourself
[C]With all[G] this work but it's just not working out

[Interlude 1]
[C][Em][Am][C][Em][C][G][Em][G]

[Verse 5]
[Am]George and his lover they gently weep
But [Em]I don't even get to breathe
I [Dm]hardly make a sound
And I'm [G]totally unwound, it's like
[Am]All my flaws have become the things
[C]That mak[Em]e you want
to destroy something
And the [Dm]reasons you started are lost
Now that the [G]feeling has worn off

[Verse 6]
[F]
Thought I was everything
you [C]need
Thought at least you'd want
to see [F]this through
Your voice follows [C]me
You sing perfectly out of [F]tune
I thought we had more [C]time
I thought I could make it up [F]somehow
I try to weave between the [C]lines
I try to turn myself [F]up loud

[Interlude 2]
Can you hear me now?
[C][F]
[G][C][Am]
[F][G][C]

[Verse 7]
[C]Now you don't even [E]write
the chords down
You don't even [F]play me
[Am]anyhow [C]anymore
Now you just [E]keep cranking them out
Like you're try[F]ing to numb your[C]self
And I'm [C]just

[Verse 8]
a different drug,
something [E]that you took for granted
Another [F]love that you
[Am]aban[C] doned right whe[C]n
It starts to count you don't even
[E]write the chords down
You [Em]don't even [F]play me any[Am]how
[C]Because it's onl[G]y work and it's

[Outro 1]
just not working out
[C][Am][F][G]
