[Intro]

[Verse]
F Bb
You were my drug, now I'm withdrawing
Dm Bb
When you're in my blood, nothing's ever boring
F Bb
I feel it through my veins, so eager to please
Dm Bb
You give me chest pains, and let my heart rate ease
C Dm
Is this blood on my hands or is it just red wine?
F Bb
I find I'm thinking 'bout you nearly all of the night
C Dm
I make up these excuses for the reasons we should meet
F Bb
Is this an addiction or is this just a repeat?
[Chorus]
F Bb
I haven't been taking care of myself
Dm Bb
I've forgotten what it's like to be in good health
F
I've gained weight and I drink too much
Bb
Maybe that's why you don't love me as much
Dm Bb
I need to start taking care of myself
[Instrumental]
F Bb Dm Bb
F Bb
Distracting me from what's important
Dm Bb
But you don't care, and I'm losing focus
F Bb
You push me to the edge, and then you pull me back
Dm Bb
I swear to God, I'll have a heart attack
C Dm
My skin's breaking out and I don't like what I see
F Bb
When I walk past shiny surfaces, I don't like being me
C Dm
You say that you want me but you don't act like you do
F Bb
I'm pretty sure my mum said be careful around you
[Chorus]
F Bb
I haven't been taking care of myself
Dm Bb
I've forgotten what it's like to be in good health
F
I've gained weight and I drink too much
Bb
Maybe that's why you don't love me as much
Dm Bb
I need to start taking care of myself
[Bridge]
F
I don't care that all my clothes
Bb
Smell like your second-hand smoke
F
I'll make any compromise
Dm
If it keeps you by my side
Bb
I don't know why
[Chorus]
F Bb
I haven't been taking care of myself
Dm Bb
I've forgotten what it's like to be in good health
F
I've gained weight and I drink too much
Bb
Maybe that's why you don't love me as much
Dm Bb
I need to start taking care of myself
