A           G   C        F
Does it help if I say that I'm sorry?
           Am                  C                  F
I know the burning in my blood has made you worry a lot
         A             D       C    F
Like the medicine they gave me that hurt me
       G                                          F
If you leave when I'm sleeping could you turn the lights off?
Am                C       Am      F
My eyes ache if I wake up bathing in fluorescence
     Am                      C    F
It's hard to shake the phosphenes and iridescence
     Am          C             F
When intravenous makes me feel heavy
Am                            Em      C          F
As frail as glass, and fading fast, I think that I'm ready to leave


[Chorus]
           Am       G         F
So give me one good reason to believe I'm getting better
   Am                           Em F
My weight keeps fluctuating and I struggle to remember
    Am              G           F                             G       Em
The last time I slept through a night without needing to shed my blood
    F
I'm so sick of feeling alone


[Instrumental]
Am


[Verse 2]
                 A
But I can't stop thinking about
           Am         A
Every time that you'd leave me alone in the house
        C
And I'd lay in my bed, suffocating with doubt

Over whether I'd manage to function without
           F
Having you there to make sure I take what they gave me
                                            Am
To kill off the pain that I'm going through daily
                       G                      F
In every way that I am strong, I am also weak

For all the words my lungs have birthed
              Am
I struggle to speak

To you about anything
G                             A
That makes me feel like a burden


[Instrumental]
G F Am F  A G F G Em G F


[Bridge]
        Am   A      G           F
Does it hurt you if I say I can feel the decay?
     Dm    Am     C        F
In a hospital bed I wither away
           D     A          D  C            F
Behind the curtains I've been crying almost every night
        G                              F
I don't want to ache like this for the rest of my life


[Chorus]
           Am  A     G         F
So give me one good reason to believe I'm getting better
   Am                           Em F
My weight keeps fluctuating and I struggle to remember
    Am          G               F                             G  Em
The last time I slept through a night without needing to shed my blood
    F
I'm so sick of feeling alone
