Lyrics:
Verse 1:
  C      D      Am
I hurt myself today
   C      D       Am
to see if I still feel
  C      D      Am
I focus on the pain
    C          D       Am
the only thing that's real
    C      D        Am
the needle tears a hole
    C    D        Am
the old familiar sting
       C       D    Am
try to kill it all away
      C        D          G
but I remember everything



Chorus:
Am             F
what have I become?
C              G
my sweetest friend
Am          F
everyone I know
     C           G
goes away in the end
Am                 F
you could have it all
G             G
my empire of dirt
Am              F
I will let you down
G                Am (picking)
I will make you hurt












Verse 2:
I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here

Chorus:
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

Bridge:
if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
