Intro: D Gbm Bm Bb A D Gbm A A6 A7 Verse 1: Bm Left in the corner collecting dust Gb Patiently waiting while my fingers rust Em I was locked in the coffin case A Not even on display Bm As you fret my frets decay Gb You pick up your other and you strum away Em I listen from the other room A A6 A7 Try to pull you out of tune Pre-chorus: G D Thought I was everything you need D A G Thought at least you'd want to see this through G D I was caught in between D A G Giving up and calling out to you D Am I coming through? Chorus: D Gb Now you don't even write the chords down G B D Bb D You don't even play me anyhow, anymore D Gb Now you just keep cranking them out G B D Bb Like you're trying to numb yourself A A6 A7 With all this work but it's just not working out Interlude: D Gbm Bm Bb A D Gbm A A6 A7 Verse 2: Bm George and his lover they gently weep Gb But I don't even gеt to breathe Em I hardly make a sound A And I'm totally unwound, it's likе Bm All my flaws have become the things Gb That make you want to destroy something Em And the reasons you started are lost A A6 A7 Now that the feeling has worn off Pre-chorus: G D Thought I was everything you need D A G Thought at least you'd want to see this through G D Your voice follows me D A G You sing perfectly out of tune G D I thought we had more time D A G I thought I could make it up somehow G D I try to weave between the lines D A G I try to turn myself up loud G Can you hear me now Solo (x2): D Bm G A D Gb Now you don't even write the chords down G B D Bb You don't even play me anyhow, anymore D Gb Now you just keep cranking them out G B D Bb Like you're trying to numb yourself, and I'm just D Gb a different drug, something that you took for granted G B D Bb Another love that you abandoned, right when D Gb It starts to count you don't even write the chords down G B D Bb You don't even play me anyhow, A A6 A7 Because it's only work and it's just not working out Outro: D Gbm Bm Bb A G A This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
