Verse:
B/G B A/F# G/E G/C
I'm tired, twisted, barely breathing, buried in the dark. It could have been.
B/G B A/F# G/E G/C
Don't be concerned, it's just the power of a breaking heart.
How good am I hiding it?
B/G
Look, I've got some bad intentions.
B A/F#
Guilty as fucking charged.
G/E G/C
Still standing stable, more than able 'cause I know who you are.

I know the birthdays, anniversaries, all the first days I missed.
G/C
I regret them all.
But now I know this:

I held her in my arms.
G Em
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong.
G
Take me off your worry list.
D
It'll be better that way.

I'm really fine and there's nothing we haven't talked about.
G D
So, take me off your worry list I said, "Throw it away."

This is what my life is about.
I might have been gone but I never walked out.

Cause I'm standin' right here.
B A/F#
And you may not show up.
