Intro:

Am  C  D  Am  C  D  Am

Verse 1:

  C      D      Am
I hurt myself today
   C      D       Am
To see if I still feel.
  C    D       Am
I focus on the pain,
    C    D            Am
The only thing that's real.
    C      D       Am
The needle tears a hole,
    C     D      Am
The old familiar sting.
       C      D     Am
Try to kill it all away,
        C      D    G
But I remember everything.

Chorus 1:

Am/G          F
What have I become
C/G         G
My sweetest friend?
Am/G       F
Everyone I know
      C/G        G
Goes away in the end.
    Am/G              F/G
And you could have it all,
G
My empire of dirt.
Am/G           F/G
I will let you down.
G               Am   C  D  Am  C  D  Am
I will make you hurt.

Verse 2:

  C         D        Am
I wear this crown of thorns
 C      D      Am
Upon my liar's chair.
C       D      Am
Full of broken thoughts,
C    D     Am
I cannot repair.
  C         D         Am
Beneath the stains of time,
    C       D     Am
The feelings disappear.
C       D       Am
You are someone else
C    D           G
I am still right here.

Chorus 2 and outro:

Am/G          F
What have I become,
C/G         G
My sweetest friend?
Am/G       F
Everyone I know
      C/G        G
Goes away in the end.
    Am/G              F/G
And you could have it all,
G
My empire of dirt.
Am/G           F/G
I will let you down,
G
I will make you hurt.
   Am             F/G
If I could start again,
  C/G            G
A million miles away,
Am/G           F/G
I would keep myself,
G      (Let fade) . . .
I would find a way. . .
