[Verse 1]
[Am]And it hurt just to to[F]uch
On the words
[Am]I said too [F]much
I was just [Am]a kid
I thought that I could not [F]be caught
And much less by the mo[Am]ment[F]
But the words came flooding
from my mouth
[Am]Some things will never

[Verse 2]
surface
[F]They capsized so long ago
[G]I didn't want to still be sinking
[Am]But [Dm]the a[C]nchor won't let me g[Am]o

[Verse 3]
Those [C]things that we thought
were never [G]there[C]
[Am]Those ghos[C]ts we brought with
[Bb]us e[F]verywh[Bb]ere[F]
[Am]From

[Verse 4]
your birth you were born into this
[F]Never knowing when the walls would crack
[G]In your defense you were so unprepared
[Dm]You said the things that

[Verse 5]
you can't take back
[Am]Those thin[C]gs that [Am]we[C]
thought were never [G]there
[Am]Those ghos[C]ts we br[Am]ough[C]t
with [Bb]us ev[F]eryw[Bb]here

[Verse 6]
[Am]I want to explain this[F] but nothing's
making sense
There's [C]poison in my [G]blood
[Am]It claimed both of our lives
[F]That world we thought important
[C]Crumbled into [Dm]nothing[C]

[Verse 7]
[Bb]Will words define me? I am
more than a moment
Will words define me? I am
more than a moment
That day behind me, but I cannot shake it
I am more than a moment,
more than a moment
[Am][Bb][Am][C]

[Verse 8]
And the beau
[G]ty left [C]my eyes
[Am]I was [C]standing there with the
[F]rest [C]of my [Am]life
[G]Knowing I would never be the [F]same[C]
[F]Know[C]ing [F]I h[C]ad c[F]hanged[Am]
I had become [G]more than
what I [F]had [C]dreamed[F]
[C]The [F]look of the youth,
but [C]with [Am]hands [G]stained
The [F]look of the [C]youth,
[F]but wit[C]h my [F]han[C]ds s[F]tai[C]ned
[F]Tell them I'm [C]sorry[Em]

I am guilty!
[Dm][F][Dm][C][Dm][Bb][F][Dm][C]

[Verse 11]
[Am]How were those words in my head?
[Bb](I am so sorry for what I
have done)
For some[Dm]body
else, somebody else
[Gm](They all asked me why
[Bb]and I k[Am]now)
I wish that I could have said
(I know [Bb]I still can't stop myself)
Any[Dm]thing else, [Bb]anything else

[Verse 12]
[Am]I want to explain this[F] but nothing's
making sense
There's [C]poison in my [G]blood
[Am]It claimed both of our lives
[F]That world we thought important
