F, C, G, Am 

[Verse I]
F                                   C           G    Am
Help me count to ten backwards but not too fast
        F                             C       G    Am 
Help me measure out how much time has passed
         F
I need a better understanding
        C                    G      Am 
A focal point and a glass of whiskey
        F                                C       G    Am
A formulated plot to make these thoughts stop

[Chorus I]

  Am           F
I sit around I think about
    C                 G
How loud this silence can sound
          Am             F
But these drinks make me happy
     C           G
Temporarily 'til morning


  Am           F
I sit around I think about
    C                 G
How loud this silence can sound
          Am             F
But these drinks make me happy
     C                G
Temporarily until the morning

[Post Chorus]

         Am    F     G
Until it comes back again
         Am    F     G
Until it comes back again

[Pre-Verse II] 

F, C, C, C, G 

[Verse II]
                              F
I swear the volumes multiply
                        C           G    Am 
When you're in bed fast asleep inside
    F                            C  G   Am
And honestly, I haven't felt alive in a while
F
Cut the ties lose the limbs
      C
They wear you down
        G       Am
As they wear me down too
F                               C
Cut the ties they wear you down
            G       Am
And I still miss you

[Chorus II]

  Am           F
I sit around I think about
    C                 G
How loud this silence can sound
          Am             F
But these drinks make me happy
     C           G
Temporarily 'til morning

Am          F
Please come back again
  C                  G
I need you more than anything
       Am         F
And if this place escapes my head
       G
I will pretend

Keep pretending to

[Post Chorus II] 

F                      C
Touch the rain clouds
G
Pull the tears out
F               
Let the volumes
G
Drown themselves out


[Instrumental] 

F, C, F, G

        F            C             Am           G
Help me count to ten backwards but not too fast
        F            C             Am           G
Help me count to ten backwards but not too fast
        F            C             Am           G
Help me count to ten backwards but not too fast

[Outro]

F                      C
Touch the rain clouds
G        Am
Pull the tears out
F              C G         Am
Let the volumes drown themselves out

F                      C
Touch the rain clouds
G        Am
Pull the tears out
F             C
Let the volumes
G
Drown
