[Intro]
[Am] [C] [D] [Am] [C] [D]
[Verse 1]
[Am] [C] [D] [Am] [C] [D] [Am]
I hurt myself today to see if I still feel
[C] [D] [Am] [C] [D] [Am]
I focus on the pain the only thing that's real
[C] [D] [Am] [C] [D] [Am]
The needle tears a hole the old familiar sting
[C] [D] [Am] [C] [D] [G]
Try to kill it all away but I remember everything
[Chorus]
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
What have I become? My sweetest friend
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
Everyone I know goes away in the end
[Am] [F] [G] [Am]
And you could have it all My empire of dirt
[Am] [F] [G] [Am]
I will let you down I will make you hurt
[Break]
([Am]) [C] [D] [Am] [C] [D]
[Verse 2]
[Am] [C] [D] [Am] [C] [D] [Am]
I wear this crown of thorns upon my liar's chair
[C] [D] [Am] [C] [D] [Am]
Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair
[C] [D] [Am] [C] [D] [Am]
Beneath the stains of time the feelings disappear
[C] [D] [Am] [C] [D] [G]
You are someone else I am still right here
[Chorus]
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
What have I become? My sweetest friend
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
Everyone I know goes away in the end
[Am] [F] [G] [Am]
And you could have it all My empire of dirt
[Am] [F] [G] [Am]
I will let you down I will make you hurt
[Am] [F] [G] [Am]
If I could start again a million miles away
[Am] [F] [G] [Am]
I would keep myself I would find a way
[Verse 3]
[C] [D] [Am]
I pedal hard today
[C] [D] [Am]
To feel the thorns in my tire
[C] [D] [Am]
I focus on the climb
[C] [D] [Am]
The only thing that's dire
[C] [D] [Am]
The hillside seems so steep
[C] [D] [Am]
A burning in my thighs
[C] [D] [Am]
Try to conquer each stride
[C] [D] [G]
But the pain in my arse..
[Chorus]
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
What have I become? My tired friend
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
Everyone I know rides away. In the end
[Am] [F] [G] [Am]
And I could have it all My empire of trails
[Am] [F] [G] [Am]
I won't back down I'll conquer every hill
