—————VERSE 1 lyrics Bm7——> (a beat before "Wake up")—————
A/Bm7
Wake up with blood—shot eyes,
E/G#
Struggled to memorize,
A#dim?
The way it felt between your thighs,
Bm7
The pleasure that made you cry.
A/Bm7
Feels so good to be bad,
E/G#
Not worth the aftermath,
After that,
A#dim?
After that,
Bm, A
Try to get you back,
Pre—Chorus 1 and 2 Chords: Gadd9, A(bar), Bm, A, A#dim, Bm7(bar)

I still don't have a reason,

A(bar)
Give me somethin' to believe in,
Em F#(bar) A(bar) A#dim Bm7(bar)
Cause I don't believe in you anymore, anymore,
A(bar) Gmaj7
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try,

Yeah, so this is goodbye.
—————VERSE 2 lyrics Bm7——> (a beat before "God damn")—————
A/Bm7
God damn my spinnin' head,
E/G#
Decisions that made my bed,
A#dim?
Now I must lay in it and,
Bm7
Deal with things I've left unsaid.
A/Bm7
I want to dive into you,
Forget what we're goin' through,
E/G#
I get behind,
Make you move,
A#dim? Bm, A
Forget about the truth,

If I ever gave a fuck about you.
