       Em                        CI'm so tired of the rain falling softly on the ground,

     G                                 Djust enough to get my feet wet but not enough to let me drown.

          Em                       CI've been laying in my bed wishing I had never woken,

        G                           Dbegging god to rid my head of every word you've ever spoken.

         Em                             C  Broke my knuckles on the wall because I thought about the call 

          G              where you said you'd always love me, 

           Ddo you not tell the truth at all?

          Em                             CWell if I ever cross your mind make sure you write down the times,

   G                             Dso I will know the moments I was eating you alive.

      C                         Em                GNow I lay here waiting with the hope that I might find some sleep.

C                                    Em                         G 'Cause I've been waiting on your call but I know it will never come but 

          D                   CI'm still waiting by the phone.

              Em                    G                             And don't you dare, don't you dare, say you ever loved me

          Em                               Ccause you knew what you were doing and you know just what you've done.

    G                                  DHow dare you say you miss me with your spit still on his tongue?

     Em                       CI am broken, I am beaten, I'm mistreated and I'm torn,

     G                              DI am cold with no direction but I'm lost without your warmth.

(Strum once per chord)

            EmYou are the itch that's on my back, 

            Cyou are the gum under my shoe, 

            Gyou are the horrors of my past, 

            Dyou are the chill that haunts the room, 

         Emyou are creaking on my steps, 

        Cyou are cancer, you are plague, 

        Gyou are regret, you are disease,

            D                         EmI wish that you would go away.
