[Intro]
B B B B x2
[Verse 1]
B
I know you do better when you're by yourself
B
Free from the weight of my dirt poor health
E Emaj7
New drugs to fix all my missing cells
E G#
Didn't bring it up, cause I've done so well this week
G#m
And I thought that if I tried a little bit harder you'd change your mind
Emaj7
I've still got nowhere to be, and I don't do too well; nobody's worried
Bmaj7 B
When nobody's worried about me
[Interlude]
B Emaj7
[Verse 2]
B
But I shouldn't have built a house in the middle of your chest
E
Plywood boards joined at your breast
B
Splinter in my arm where you rest your head
E
Checking my watch till you come to bed
B
Kiss me goodnight with your sour breath
E B
Breaks on my face like a wave of emptiness
B
And when I talk just taste regret
N.C.
You're everything I want and I'm all you dread
[Verse 3]
G#m B
Watch the poison leak from your pores
Think all the liquor's gonna keep you warm
E
Burn everything down to prove you could
G#m
Leave me inside in a body made of wood
E
In a body made of wood
[Outro]
B
Oh, the harder I swim, the faster I sink
B
The harder I swim, the faster I sink
E Emaj7
The harder I swim, the faster I sink
Bmaj7
The harder I swim, the faster I sink
G#m
The harder I swim, the faster I sink
G#m
The harder I swim, the faster I sink
E
The harder I swim, the faster I sink
N.C.
The harder I swim, the faster I sink
