A          D
Let's forget, I forgot I could just lose it all
         A             D
I can't stop, fill my cup, throw it against the wall
          Bm                      E
I smash into a thousand pieces of me
     F#m                      D
No escape if I got nowhere to be
             Bm                            E
Drop to the floor and nod off praying for sleep
      F#m                          D
In my head, I can't get rid of the beat


[Chorus]
                  D                    E
Back to back with you, tell me I'm the same
               A                       F#m
In the darkest room, I sing for yesterday
                    D                  E
Black and black and blue, edges sleep away
               A                          Bm
Concrete in my shoes won't let me off the chain
             C#m                   D
If I have to choose, if I have to change
                 E                   A
I'll be standing back to back with you


[Verse]
          A                         D
Oh, guess what (guess what), August comes, walks right in through the door
           A           D
skin peels off, in the sun, I feel a little raw
               Bm                      E
Playback those messages and look for a thread
         F#m                        D
what was real and what I wish I had said
           Bm                          E
Fingers in ears and say I'm listening, listing all my hangups
       F#m                        D
In the end, I think I'd rather be dead


[Chorus]
                  D                    E
Back to back with you, tell me I'm the same
               A                      F#m
In the darkest room, I sing for yesterday
                    D                  E
Black and black and blue, edges sleep away
               A                          Bm
Concrete in my shoes won't let me off the chain
             C#m                  D
If I have to choose, if I have to change
                 E                 D
I'll be standing back to back with you


[Bridge]
     E        A                    F#m
With me, everything, still won't believe
            D
How could I lose? (How could I lose?)
               E
How could that be? (How could that be?)
            A                 F#m
How 'bout a truce? Now let it in


[Pre-Chorus]
         A
Let's forget
     D
I forgot


[Chorus]
                  D                    E
Back to back with you, tell me I'm the same
               A                      F#m
In the darkest room, I sing for yesterday
                    D                  E
Black and black and blue, edges sleep away
                A                         Bm
Concrete in my shoes won't let me off the chain
           C#m                D
I have to choose if I have to change
                 E                 A
I'll be standing back to back with you
