VERSE1(pt1)
For the first part of the verses I don’t play the
Two e strings which is why I play a normal b
chord as well as a barred one as they will make slightly
different sounds, I will denote the barre chords
with a (b) after the chord.
What am I to say?
I'm all wrapped up in apathy
A(b) B(b)
and I don't want to stay this way
There's nothing left to do
now that I am onto you
A(b) B(b)
All I want to know is the truth
VERSE1(pt2)
Play all six/five strings here
And I don't want to go
but I feel like I should
Cause' I'm falling apart
and I might, and I, and I

CHORUS
How could you be the better part of me
when we're only half of what we used to be?
Today, could you see, this isn't what we need
and I'm leaving all the pieces how they fell
So goodbye, farewell
VERSE2(pt1)
What am I to say?
I still remember everyday
A(b) B(b)
Memories don't fade away
VERSE2(pt2)
Plam mute these chords
And it all falls apart
in the shadows of the past
It can seem to be so hard
But it's time the feelings past

CHOURUS
How could you be the better part of me
when we're only half of what we used to be?

So goodbye, farewell

BRIDGE
And pull your triggers now What you waiting for?
I stand accused myself, sometimes I'm wrong, God help me
And hear beneath my lie, what am I praying for?
I don't believe in hell but I just might be there tonight
