Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][G][C][G][Em]
[D][G][C][G][C]
[Em]Sending

[Verse 1]
[D]shivers right down your [C]spine
It's [Bm]something that you're
prone [C]to so di[Em]vine
You were better at [C]lies (I was
[Em]never [G]surprised)
At the way that if felt
[C]Now feel the blade (I was
[Bm]always insane)
But you're the [C]one that
[D]needs help
[Em]

[Verse 2]
(Quick!) We have [G]the ransom
[C]Tell me how that you can swim when [D]ropes are
[Dsus4]wrapped around your l[D]imbs[Em]
(Below!) There's no more [G]chances
So [C]tell me now that you can swim when [D]ropes
are wrapped around your limbs
[Em]

[Verse 3]
Breathing slowly never [C]worked for [Am]me
I [Em]cut the [Am]throat of betrayal to [Em]watch
[Bm]him [Em]bleed[C][Em]
A poetic sonnet [C]passion that I
scream to the [Am]sky
I'm tearing up I feel your [Bm]love
don't [C]leave me [Em]behind
A poetic sonnet [C]passion that I
scream to the sky
I'm tearing [Am]up I feel your l[Bm]ove please
don't leave [C]me [D]behind[Em]

[Verse 4]
The smell of [Em]vanity [D]went [G]away[D][C]
I followed streetlights till I [Bm]wound
up [C]at [D]your [Em]place
We traced our veins [G](we bled
for days)
The current was strong enough to[C]night
I can taste any [Bm]more
It lasted [C]on [D]my [Em]tongue
You weren't strong enough

[Verse 5]
to say
[Em]
(Quick!) We have [G]the ransom
[C]Tell me how that you can swim when [D]ropes are
[Dsus4]wrapped around your l[D]imbs[Em]
(Below!) There's no more [G]chances
So [C]tell me now that you can swim when
[D]ropes are wrapped around your [Em]limbs

[Verse 6]
[Em]Grab my heart
Take this [C]down
With your soul
And bury it in the ground
[Em]

[Verse 7]
I talked to you today
I heard the tremble in your
voice [D]cradle the fall
[C]I know you'll never change
[Em]so pleas[D]e just hold [C]on[D]
[Em]I know it's hard for you
It's hard to understand
betrayal [D]with[C]in
There is a fine line [Em]between [D]betray
[Em]al (betrayal[G]) and your f[Em]riends

[Verse 8]
[Em]
[D]Tel[C]l me how that you can swim when rop[D]es are
wrapped [G]around [D]your limbs[Em]
(Quick!) We have the ransom
[D]So [C]tell me how that you can swim when
[D]ropes are wrapped around your [Em]limbs
