It's not WHAT you strum...
...But HOW you strum it!

[Verse 1]
Am C D Am C D Am
I hurt myself today to see if I still feel
C D Am C D Am
I focus on the pain the only thing that's real
C D Am C D Am
The needle tears a hole the old familiar sting
C D Am C D G
Try to kill it all away but I remember everything
[Chorus]
Am F C G
What have I become my sweetest friend
Am F C G
Everyone I know goes away in the end
Am F C G
And you could have it all my empire of dirt
Am F G
I will let you down I will make you hurt

[Verse 2]
Am C D Am C D Am
I wear this crown of thorns upon my liar's chair
C D Am C D Am
Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair
C D Am C D Am
Beneath the stains of time the feelings disappear
C D Am C D G
You are someone else I am still right here
[Chorus]
Am F C G
What have I become my sweetest friend
Am F C G
Everyone I know goes away in the end
Am F C G
And you could have it all my empire of dirt
Am F C G
I will let you down I will make you hurt
Am F C G
If I could start again a million miles away
Am F G
I would keep myself I would find a way
