Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]We t[G]hrew[D][Am]
[Em]words
like they [G]were sharp knives
Fell like [D]we tripped over
[Am]a landmine
You said we [Em]lost love
You made [G]your mind up
And I just [D]got quiet,
my [Am]body went numb
[Em]And

[Verse 2]
I pretend that I can [G]handle it
and if I [D]hold my head up, I won't [Am]drown
[Em]I can't let go,
you're like the [G]chemical
you're racing [D]through me
My heart just [Am]pounds, pounds, pounds

[Verse 3]
It's getting [G]louder and louder
[Am]Every time I think about[Em] you, about you
[C]I'll be better off wit[G]hout you,
without you
[Am]I wish my heart would stop,
[Em]wish my heart would stop[C]
Beating me up [G](whoa, o[Am] h,
whoa)
Beating me up [Em](whoa, o[C] h, whoa)
Beating me [G]up

[Verse 4]
You've [G]moved [Em]on, I know [G]I should too
My cuts are [D]all gone,
my pain feels [Am]brand new
Who turned the [Em]lights down?
Who took [G]my flashlight?
Why [D]does my heart sound like it
might [Am]burst [Em]tonight?
[Am]It's getting

[Verse 5]
[G]louder and louder
[Am]Every time I think about[Em] you, about you
[C]I'll be better off wit[G]hout you,
without you
[Am]I wish my heart would stop,
[Em]wish my heart would stop[C]
Beating me up [G](whoa, o[Am] h,
whoa)
Beating me [Em]up (w[C]hoa, oh,
whoa)
Beating me [G]up [Am](whoa, oh, whoa)
I wish my heart would [Em]stop (whoa, oh,
whoa)
wish my heart would [C]stop

[Verse 6]
I [G]won't [C]let you get the best [G]of me
How'd my [Am]heart become
my [Em]enemy?
I won't [C]let you get the best [G]of me
How'd my [Am]heart become my enemy?

[Verse 7]
[Em](Beating me up,[G]
[Em]beat[D]ing me up)
(Beating me up,
beating [Am]me u[G]p)[Am][G]
It's [Am]getting louder (louder, louder)

[Verse 8]
[G]
[C]every time [G]I think [Em]about you (about you,
[G]about you)
And I'll [C]be better off [Em]without
ya (without ya, without ya)
I wish my heart would stop
I wish my heart [C]would stop
Beating me [G]up [Am](whoa, oh, whoa)
Beating me [Em]up (w[C]hoa, oh,
whoa)
Beating me [G]up whoa whoa (whoa,
[Am]oh, whoa)
Wish my heart would
[Em]I wish my heart wo[C]uld stop
Beating [G]me up
[Am][C][Em]

[Verse 9]
[C]
Beating me up
