 Intro 4x -
 It's about time  that  I came  clean with you
 I'm no longer fine,  I'm no longer  running smooth
 I thought that I found  myself under  something new
 Just one more line  I repeat over  and over again
 'Till I'm blue in the face  with a choking  regret
 Because I talk in circles  'round you  on my bed
  A E B G--- A
 Can't say I blame you one bit when you kept it all inside
 When you left that  night
 2x Verse Chords
 It's about time that  you got  sick of me
 No longer fun, and  so far from  interesting
 I thought that I  found  me a cure  for feeling old
 Just one more line  to keep  me sleeping loudly  and cold
 In disgraced  with a shameful  regret
 As I talk  in tongues  to myself in my bed
  A E B G--- A
 Can't say I blame you one bit when you kept it all inside
 When you left that  night
 Ex
 And all that followed fell like mercury to hell
 Ex
 Somehow we lost our heads for the last time
 Ex
 And all that followed fell like mercury to hell E
   (play  little bit longer)
 Somehow we lost our heads for the last time
 And I don't  dream since  I quit  sleeping
 And I haven't  slept since  I met  you
 And you can't  breathe  without coughing at daytime
B
And neither can I
A -------- B(Stop)
 So what do you say?
 Your coffin, or mine?
