  Bm                         G                 Em  A 
I tried it once before but I didn't get too far 
  Bm                        G                   Em  A 
I felt a lot of pain but it didn't stop my heart 
    Bm                      G                            Em  A 
And all I really wanted was someone to give a little fuck 
      Bm                         G                  E  A  Bm  G  Em  A  Bm  G  Em  A 
But I waited there forever and nobody even looked up 
   
 
 
  Bm                         G                       Em  A 
I tried it once before and I think I mighta messed up 
  Bm                             G                          Em  A 
I struggled with the veins and I guess I didn't bleed enough 
    Bm                        G                      Em  A 
But maybe I'm alive because I didn't really wanna die 
    Bm                        G                 Em  A 
But nothing very special ever happens in my life 
   
 
 
Bm              G 
Take the blade away from me 
  Em            A 
I am a freak, I am afraid that 
Bm              G               Em 
All the blood escaping me won't end the pain 
    A                Bm                 G 
And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me 
  Em             A 
I died to be the white ghost 
       G              Em         Bm  G  Em  A 
Of the man that I was meant to be 
 
 
  Bm                            G                     Em  A 
I tried it like before and this time I made a deep cut 
  Bm                               G                       Em  A 
I thought about my friends and the way I didn't give enough 
      Bm                             G                        Em  A 
And I shoulda told my mother 'mom, I love you' like a good son 
         Bm                           G                     Em 
But this life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one 
  
 
 
Bm              G 
Take the blade away from me 
  Em            A 
I am a freak, I am afraid that 
Bm              G               Em 
All the blood escaping me won't end the pain 
    A                Bm                 G 
And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me 
  Em             A 
I died to be the white ghost 
       G              Em                 
Of the man that I was meant to be, yeah

  Bm 
I tried it once again and I think I might black out 
  Bm 
I shoulda left a letter but I had nothing to write about 
   Bm                            G                  Em  A 
My blood is all around me, I get dizzy if I stand up 
    Bm                          G                       Em  A 
The cutting part was easy but regretting it is so fucked 
   
 
 
Bm              G 
Take the blade away from me 
  Em            A 
I am a freak, I am afraid that 
Bm              G               Em 
All the blood escaping me won't end the pain 
    A                Bm                 G 
And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me 
  Em             A 
I died to be the white ghost 
       G              Em 
Of the man that I was meant to be 
  
 
 
  Bm 
I tried it once again and I think I went too far 
    G              Em 
The man that I was meant to be, 
  Bm                          A# 
I cut a little deeper and the pressure stopped my heart 
    G              Em 
The man that I was meant to be, 
  Bm 
I couldn't tell my mother that I love her, I'm a bad son 
     G                            Em 
This life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one
