The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot

[Intro] G  D4  C9

G
  If it makes you less sad
                   D4
I will die by your hand
I hope you find out what you want
                      C9
I already know that I am

G
 And if it makes you less sad
                     D4
We'll start talking again
And you can tell me how vile
                      C9
I already know that I am

G
 I'll grow old
                    D4
And start acting my age
I'll be a brand new day
                   C9
In a life that you hate

G
 A crown of gold
                               D4
And a heart that's harder than stone
And it hurts a whole lot
                          C9
But it's missed when it's gone

G               D4
 Call me a safe bet
                   C9
But I bet that I'm not
G                      D4
 I'm glad that you can forgive
                   C9
I'm only hoping as time goes by
You can forget

( G  D4  C9 )

G
 If it makes you less sad
                     D4
I'll move out of the state
You can keep to yourself
                      C9
I'll keep out of your way

G
 And if it makes you less sad
                            D4
I'll take your pictures all down
Every picture you pain
                    C9
I will paint myself out

G
 It's as cold as a tomb
                      D4
And it's dark in your room

When I sneak to your bed
                     C9
To pour salt on your wounds

G
 So call it quits
         D4
Or get a grip
You say you wanted a solution
                          C9
But you just wanted to be missed

G               D4
 Call me a safe bet
                    C9
But I'm betting I'm not
G                      D4
 I'm glad that you can forgive
                    C9
I'm only hoping as time goes by
That you can forget

( G  D4  C9 )

G
 You are calm and reposed
                    D4
It lets your beauty unfold
Pale white like the skin
                    C9
Stretched over your bones


Spring keeps you ever close
                     G
You are second hand smoke
You are so fragile and thin
                        D4
Standing trial for your sins


Holding onto your self
             C9
The best you can
You are the smell before rain
                            G
You are the blood in my veins

G               D4
 Call me a safe bet
                C9
I'm betting I'm not
G                      D4
 I'm glad that you can forgive
                   C9
I'm only hoping as time goes
                      G
That you can forget
