Key: C# minorDifficulty: Advanced

Verse 1
C#m7 C#m7 
 
How dare you say
that my behavior is unacceptable
So condescending unnecessarily critical
C#m7 C#m7 
 
I have the tendency of getting very physical
So watch your step 'cause if I do

Verse 2
you'll need a miracle
C#m7 C#m7 
 
You drain me dry and make me wonder
why I'm even here
The double vision I was seeing is finally clear
C#m7 C#m7 
 
You want to stay but you know very well
I want you gone
Not fit to fuckin' tread

Chorus 1
the ground that I am walking on
C#m C#m 
 
G#m G#m 
 
When it gets cold  outside
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
and you got nobody to love
C#m C#m 
 
You'll understand
G#m G#m 
 
what I mean  when I say
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
There's no way we're gonna give up
C#m C#m 
 
G#m G#m 
 
And like a little girl cries in the face
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
of a monster that lives in her dreams
C#m C#m 
 
Is there anyone out there
G# G# 
 
'cause it's getting harder
C#m C#m 
 
and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there
G# G# 
 
'cause it's getting harder
C#m C#m 
 
and harder to breathe

Verse 3
C#m7 C#m7 
 
What you are doing is
screwing things up inside my head
You should know better
you never listened to a word I said
C#m7 C#m7 
 
Clutching your pillow
and writhing in a naked sweat
Hoping somebody someday

Chorus 2
will do you like I did
C#m C#m 
 
G#m G#m 
 
When it gets cold  outside
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
and you got nobody to love
C#m C#m 
 
You'll understand
G#m G#m 
 
what I mean  when I say
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
There's no way we're gonna give up
C#m C#m 
 
G#m G#m 
 
And like a little girl cries in the face
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
of a monster that lives in her dreams
C#m C#m 
 
Is there anyone out there
G# G# 
 
'cause it's getting harder
C#m C#m 
 
and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there
G# G# 
 
'cause it's getting harder
C#m C#m 
 
and harder to breathe

Bridge 1
C#m7 C#m7 
 
Does it kill
Does it burn
D#m7b5 D#m7b5 
 
Is it painful   to learn
C#dim7 C#dim7 
 
D#m7b5 D#m7b5 
 
That it's me        that has all the control
C#m7 C#m7 
 
Does it thrill
Does it sting
D#m7b5 D#m7b5 
 
When you feel      what I bring
C#dim7 C#dim7 
 
D#m7b5 D#m7b5 
 
And you wish      that you had me to hold

and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there
'cause it's getting harder
and harder to breathe
C#m C#m
