Intro
[G#m] [B] [F#] [C#m]
Verse 1
[G#m] We threw words like they were [B]sharp knives
Fell like we [F#]tripped over a [C#m]landmine
You said we [C#m]lost love
You made your [B]mind up
And I just [F#]got quiet, my body [C#m]went numb
And [G#m]I pretend that I can [B]handle it and if I [F#]hold my head up, I won't [C#m]drown
[G#m]Can't let go, you're like the [B]chemical, you're racing [F#]through me
My heart just [C#m]pounds, pounds, pounds...
Chorus
It's getting [B]louder and louder
Every [C#m]time I think [G#m]about you, about you
[E]I'll be better off [B]without you, without you
[C#m]I wish my heart would [G#m]stop, I wish my heart would [E]stop
Beating me [B]up (Whoa, oh, [C#m]whoa)
Beating me [G#m]up
[E] Beating me up
Verse 2
[G#m] You've moved on, I know I [B]should too
My cuts are [F#]all gone, my pain feels [C#m]brand new
Who turned the [G#m]lights down? Who took my [B]flashlight?
Why does my [F#]heart sound like it might [B]burst tonight?
Chorus
