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

[Verse 1]
[Em]Are we still
con[C]nected or was it just a plot,
[Em]To get yourself off,
and hope that I'm not
[G]Listening when it [F#m]hap pens.
[Em](She said)
I can't begin to say how sorry I am,
[C]I never meant for thi[Am]s to happen.
[Em]The Sun goes down,
[G]the knives come [F#m]out..[Em]

[Verse 2]
I'm on the [Em]island you [C]left me [Am]on,
[Em]Such a sickening strip of sand;
No [G]lifeboats, no [F#m]getting off.

[Verse 3]
[Em]We give up, we give in,
we take what [D]we can;
We're trapped deep
without a second chance.
[C]We give up, we give in,
wi[D]thought blinking;
Jesus Christ, what was I thinking?
[C]Oh

[Verse 4]
these [D]lungs desperatley filled
by someone
[G]Starving and sad,
Because you [D]know your lover,
Won't be back.
[C]All these words [D], useless and absurd
[Em]Such a sight of this,
Makes [D]the harbor and the
water sick.
[Em][C]

[Verse 5]
[Am]
[Em]Shall I stay [C]rejected or
end up drunk and soft
Like [Em]a bitter old man sunk in his veins
[G]Trying not to get [F#m]caught.
[Em](He says)
I know you didn't miss
the sound that I made;
[C]It's simple,and sad,
and [Am]easy to fake.
[Em]The liquids down, [G]the knives come [F#m]out.
[Em]

[Verse 6]
I'm on the island you left [C]me on,
[Am]
[Em]Such a sickening strip of sand;
No [G]lifeboats, no [F#m]getting off.

[Verse 7]
[Em]We give up, we give in,
we take what [D]we can;
We're trapped deep
without a second chance.
[C]We give up, we give in,
wi[D]thought thinking;
I'll be there the night you go down.
[C]Oh

[Verse 8]
these [D]lungs desperatley filled
by someone
[G]Starving and sad,
Because you [D]know your lover,
Won't be back.
[C]All these words [D], useless and absurd
[Em]Such a sight of this,
Makes the [D]harbor and the water [Em]sick.

[Interlude 1]
[C]
[D][Em][C][G][C][Em]
[C][D][Em][C][D][C][Em]

[Verse 9]
I [Em]understand your reasons,
[C]For this awkward dance.
I'd [Em]leave me, too,
If [C]I thought I had the slightest chance.

[Verse 10]
[Em]I cry aloud to these sheets
they grip back [C]tight.
I fall asleep to [Am]the sound of my
own [Em]life.[C][Am][Em][C]
[Am]If I[Em] drink this
bottle fast enough,
[C]I might get lucky and [Am]won't wake [Em]up. [x2]

[Outro 1]
[Em]
