VERSE 1
E G#m
I look into the sky
A
And I have to ask why
B
She'd go and leave me
E G#m
Oh, why do feelings have to die
A
Is it all just a sign
B
Of what its meant to be

BRIDGE
A B

The end of this can be sighted

She's overdue for a breakout

I better go, she blows my brains out
A
Silence is a scary sound
CHORUS
E G#m C#m A
Funny feeling happened today
E G#m A B
Someone buried in the past
E G#m C#m A
Didn't mean much that much anyway
E G#m A B E
I know the love will never last
VERSE 2
E G#m
I'm torn up inside
A
There's a hole on my mind
B
When you're not next to me
E G#m
So I hope you choke and die
A
On every single lie
B
Let you feel what you've done to me
