B
Left in the corner collecting dust
Gb
Patiently waiting while my fingers rust
    E
I was locked in the coffin case
  A
Not even on display
B
As you fret my frets decay
  Gb
You pick up your other and you strum away
 E
I listen from the other room
    A     A6   A7
Try to pull you out of tune

G                 D
Thought I was everything you need
D                  A   G
Thought at least you'd want to see this through
G              D
I was caught in between
D             A  G
Giving up and calling out to you
G
Am I coming through?

D          Gb
Now you don't even write the chords down
Gb       G     B D*    Bb D
You don't even play me anyhow, anymore
D       Gb
Now you just keep cranking them out
Gb      G      B D*
Like you're trying to numb yourself
   A    A6      A7
With all this work but it's just not working out

B
George and his lover they gently weep
  Gb
But I don't evеn get to breathe
  E
I hardly makе a sound
     A
And I'm totally unwound, it's like
B
All my flaws have become the things
   Gb
That make you want to destroy something
     E
And the reasons you started are lost
       A
Now that the feeling has worn off

G                 D
Thought I was everything you need
D                  A   G
Thought at least you'd want to see this through
G           D
Your voice follows me
D           A G
You sing perfectly out of tune
G           D
I thought we had more time
D               A G
I thought I could make it up somehow
G                D
I try to weave between the lines
D          A G
I try to turn myself up loud
G
Can you hear me now?

I'm just a different drug, something that you took for granted
Gb    G       B D* Bb      D
Another love that you abandoned, right when
