^C#mI still remember the ^Awords you said ^F#mThey were hard enough to l^Beave a m^G#ark ^C#mAnd now they echo in^Aside my head ^F#mAs I spiral down in^Bto the ^G#dark ^AI windmill upside ^Edown ^F#mKnowing you'll come ^C#mat me a^Bgain ^AAnd I feel your shadow ^F#mpass above me

Chorus:

^EsusOctop^Eus ^Esus ^E Some kind of ^Esusoctop^Eus ^Esus ^E Tearing my ^Bmshell apart^F#m Letting the ^C#msea get in You ^Amake my insides outside ^E

Verse 2:

^C#mI don't think I ever ^Asaw you blink ^F#mYou were so controlled that ^Bno one ^G#knew ^C#mAnd by the time we all ^Astopped to think ^F#mWe were already too ^Bclose to ^G#you ^ANow you keep coming ^Eby ^F#mTelling me it's ^C#mnot what I ^Bthink But I ^Aknow a murder ^F#mwhen I see one

Chorus:

^EsusOctop^Eus ^Esus ^E Some kind of ^Esusoctop^Eus ^Esus ^E Tearing my ^Bmshell apart^F#m Letting the ^C#msea get in You ^Amake my insides outside

Bridge:

^AAnd far a^Bbove me I can ^Asee the world ^B ^AReceding ^Bslowly out of ^Aview ^B ^AThe sinking ^Bfeeling that my ^Aworst mistake^B ^AWas all the ^Btime I spent with ^Ayou

Verse 3: N.C. You said you're sorry, you said you'd try But you never did, I guess we're done Now bits of pieces of me float by And I die in front of everyone And you're already gone Halfway to wherever you sleep And you make me wish I never met you Chorus:

^EsusOctop^Eus ^Esus ^E Some kind of ^Esusoctop^Eus ^Esus ^E Tearing my ^Bmshell apart^F#m Letting the ^C#msea get in You ^Amake my insides outside
