[Am] [F] [C] [G]
Verse
What I [Am]want from [F]you is [C]empty your [G]head
They [Am]say: [F]„be [C]true, don't stain [G]your bed“
[Am]We [F]do what we [C]need to be [G]free
And it [Fm]leans on me like a [G]rootless [C]tree
What I [Am]want from [F]us is [C]empty our [G]minds
We [Am]fake the [F]farce, and [C]fracture the [G]times
[Am]We go [F]blind when we've [C]needed to [G]see
And [Fm]this leans on me, like a [G][C]rootless...
Chorus
[Am]Fuck you, [F]fuck you, [C]fuck you, and [G]all we've been through
I said [Am]leave it, [F]leave it, [C]leave it, there's [G]nothing in you
And did you [Am]hate me, [F]hate me, [C]hate me, then [G]hate me so good
That you can [Am]let me out, [F]let me out, [C]let me out
Of this hell when [G]you're around
[Am]Let me out, [F]let me out, [C]let me out
[G]Hell when you're around
[Am]Let me out, [F]let me out, [C]let me out[G]
Verse
What I [Am]want from [F]this is [C]learn to let [G]go
I know [Am]not of [F]you, of all [C]that's been [G]told
[Am][F]Killers [C]re-invent and [G]believe
And this [Fm]leans on me, like a [G][C]rootless...
Chorus
[Am]Fuck you, [F]fuck you, [C]fuck you, and [G]all we've been through
I said [Am]leave it, [F]leave it, [C]leave it, there's [G]nothing in you
And did you [Am]hate me, [F]hate me, [C]hate me, then [G]hate me so good
That you can [Am]let me out, [F]let me out, [C]let me out
Of this hell when [G]you're around
[Am]Let me out, [F]let me out, [C]let me out
[G]Hell when you're around
[Am]Let me out, [F]let me out, [C]let me out[G]
[Am]Fuck you, [F]fuck you, [C]fuck you, and [G]all we've been through
I said [Am]leave it, [F]leave it, [C]leave it, there's [G]nothing in you
And did you [Am]hate me, [F]hate me, [C]hate me, then [G]hate me so good
That you can [Am]let me out, [F]let me out, [C]let me out
Of this hell when [G]you're around
[Am]Let me out, [F]let me out, [C]let me out
[G]Hell when you're around
[Am]Let me out, [F]let me out, [C]let me out[G]
