Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][D]
[A][A]
[G][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]If it makes you less sad
I will die by your [A]hand
Hope you find out what you want
Already know what I [G]am

[Verse 2]
[D]And if it makes you less sad
We'll start talking a[A]gain
You can tell me how vile
I already know that I [G]am
[D]I'll grow old, start acting my age[A]
Be a brand new day
in a life that [G]you hate

[Verse 3]
[D]A crown of gold
A heart that's harder than [A]stone
And it hurts a whole lot
But it's missed when [G]it's gone

[Chorus 1]
[D]Call me a safe bet[A]
I'm bettin' I'm [G]not
[D]Glad that you can forgiv[A]e
Only hoping as [G]time goes, you can forget

[Interlude 1]
[D][D]
[A][A]
[G][G]

[Verse 4]
[D]If it makes you less sad
I'll move out of the [A]state
You can keep to yourself
I'll keep out of your [G]way

[Verse 5]
[D]And if it makes you less sad
I'll take your pictures all [A]down
Every picture you paint
I will paint myself [G]out
[D]It's cold as a tomb
And it's dark in your [A]room
When I sneak to your bed
To pour salt in [G]your wounds
[D]So call it quits or get a gri[A]p
Say you wanted a solution
You just wanted to [G]be missed

[Chorus 2]
[D]Call me a safe bet[A]
I'm bettin' I'm [G]not
[D]Glad that you can forgiv[A]e
Only hoping as [G]time goes, you can forget
[D]So you can
[A]for- get
You can [G]for- get

[Bridge 1]
[D]You are calm and reposed
Let your beauty un[A]fold
Pale white, like the skin stretched
over your [G]bones
Spring keeps you ever close
You are second hand [D]smoke
You are so fragile and thin
Standing trial for your [A]sins
Holding onto yourself the best you [G]can
You are the smell before rain

[Chorus 3]
You are the blood in my veins
[D]Call me a safe bet[A]
I'm bettin' I'm [G]not
[D]Glad that you can forgiv[A]e
Only hoping as [G]time goes, you can [D]forget
