Intro: Em    G  D  C      D      
 
Verse:
 
          Em            G 
Take a breath, hold it in 
         D          C  
Start a fight, you won't win 
       Em          G 
Had enough, let's begin 
       D        C 
Never mind, I don't care 
 
        Em         G 
All in all you're no good 
      D               C 
You don't cry, like you should 
        Em      G 
Let it go, if you could 
       D             C       G 
When love dies in the end 
 
 
G                            D 
So I'll find what lies beneath 
D            Bm   Em 
Your sick twisted smile 
Em   D    Em  C 
As I lie underneath 
C          D    G 
Your cold jaded eyes 
G                          D 
Now you turn the tide on me 
D               Bm Em 
'Cause you're so unkind 
Em     D    Em   C 
I will always be here 
C               D  Em 
For the rest of my life 
 
 
 
 
Interlude: Em    Bm    C     G  Bm 
 
Verse:
 
         Em          G 
Here we go, does it hurt 
         D       C 
Say goodbye to this world 
         Em     G 
I will not be undone 
        D          C 
Come to life, it gets worse 
 
        Em        G 
All in all you're no good 
      D               C 
You don't cry, like you should 
         Em         G 
I'll be gone when you fall 
       D              C 
Your sad life says it all 
 
 
G                            D 
So I'll find what lies beneath 
D            Bm   Em 
Your sick twisted smile 
Em   D    Em  C 
As I lie underneath 
C          D    G 
Your cold jaded eyes 
G                          D 
Now you turn the tide on me 
D               Bm Em 
'Cause you're so unkind 
Em     D    Em   C 
I will always be here 
C               D  Em 
For the rest of my life 
 
 
Bridge:
 
Em              C 
Don't carry me under 
            Bm             Em 
You're the devil in disguise 
Em                C 
God sing for the hopeless 
        Bm               Em  D  C 
I'm the one you left behind 
 
 
G                            D 
So I'll find what lies beneath 
D            Bm   Em 
Your sick twisted smile 
Em   D    Em  C 
As I lie underneath 
C          D    G 
Your cold jaded eyes 
G                          D 
Now you turn the tide on me 
D               Bm Em 
'Cause you're so unkind 
Em     D    Em   C 
I will always be here 
C               D  Em 
For the rest of my life
