verse 1 Am F C G Do I want to forgive my sins while yours are still bleeding? Am F C G I forgot what it's like to live and get lost in dreaming Am F Will you push me out into the great unknown C G Let me go, let me float through the darkness? Am F Did I hold you back and throw it all away? C G 'Cause a lie is just fear, let's be honest. Pre-Chorus Am Trying to wake up with no safety net Am Cut the strings and fall like a marionette. Am F C G Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live Am F C G Cry for help like you're the martyr, oh. verse 1 Am F C G Do I know where the truth begins, the pain that you're speaking? Am F C G Can I betray your heart again and know what's deceiving? Am F Did I give it up before it could unfold C G Like a knife, it shines red, perfect scarlet? Am F Will you tear it up before my sorrow grows? C G Because death has come back for the harvest. Pre-Chorus Am Trying to wake up with no safety net Am Cut the strings and fall like a marionette. Am F C G Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live Am F C G Cry for help like you're the martyr, oh Am F You never think twice, just believe that it's right C G Your heart has gone numb from the hate you've become Am F C G Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live Am Cause you're the martyr. Bridge Am G F Don't ask me how I feel about you Em Nothing, nothing Am G F Em Don't tell me how to make amends. Am F C G Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live Am F C G Cry for help like you're the martyr, oh Am F You never think twice, just believe that it's right C G Your heart has gone numb from the hate you've become Am F C G Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live Am Cause you're the martyr.
