[Intro]
G A/C# D Bm
G A/C# D Bm
[Verse 1]
G A/C#
Running out of answers,
D Bm
Burning through September,
G A/C# D Bm
A fire in the driveway last night.
G A/C#
Saw it in your blue eyes,
D Bm
And you were just a small child,
G A/C# D Bm
Now you’re only ashes of a man.
[Chorus]
G A
And I know it’s the truth,
D A/C# E
I’m better off without you,
G A/C# D Bm
But I can’t seem to say it to your face,
G A D A/C# E
And I know it’s not wrong to leave you to the dogs,
G A/C# D Bm
But I can’t watch ’em tear into your skin.
[Verse 2]
G A/C#
Simmer in your water,
D Bm
Boil until you smother,
G A/C# D Bm
Until it’s seething out between your teeth,
G A/C#
I swore that I would be there,
D Bm
Icing out a fever,
G A/C# D Bm
I've just grown so tired of getting burned.
[Chorus]
G A
And I know it’s the truth,
D A/C# E
I’m better off without you,
G A/C# D Bm
But I can’t seem to say it to your face,
G A D A/C# E
And I know it’s not wrong to leave you to the dogs,
G A/C# D Bm
But I can’t watch ’em tear into your skin.
[Outro]
G A/C#
Thе blood is running through me,
G A/C#
Bleed until you lose me,
G A/C# D Dmaj7
I can’t ever lose you from my head.
