[Intro]
C Em7 Am Fmaj7
 
[Verse 1]
C                          Em                      Am              F
 When I was young I used to check for you under my bed (under my bed)
C                          Em7                     Am           F
 But now I'm older and instead I let you sleep on it (sleep on it)
       C                   Em
You're smoking five days a week
          Am                    F
Don't you say I'm why you can't breathe
        C                          Em7
You got nerve sayin' it ain't that deep
                           Am            F
Friends don't wear skin to sleep
 
[Hook]
C                Em7    Am                Fmaj7
Why’d you let me sink in pools of wishful thinking?
C               Em7     Am         Fmaj7
I don’t want to swim anymore
C                 Em7         Am               Fmaj7
Look at all these bloodstains I’ve been calling warpaint
C                   Em7     Am                 Fmaj7
There ain’t nothing here to fight for
 
[Verse 2]
C                           Em7                      Am             F
King of my condo, there's a second toothbrush by the sink (by the sink)
           C                                   Em7                    Am          F
Then I ask where your kingdom lies, you hand me a blank map with X in ink (X in ink)
    C          Em
I’m every metaphor
                          Am                F
You hold me like I’m your everything and more
             C                                    Em7                      Am            Fmaj7
But when the sun rays greet the floor you make it clear I’m everything but yours
 
[Hook]
C                Em7    Am                F
Why’d you let me sink in pools of wishful thinking?
C               Em7     Am         F
I don’t want to swim anymore
C                 Em7         Am                F
Look at all these bloodstains I’ve been calling warpaint
C                   Em
There ain’t nothing left to fight for
 
 
[Outro]
C                 Em
I’m givin' up the fight
Am                   F
Ain’t gonna waste my time
C                   Em
You go run for your life
      Am                F
Be my guest, be my guest
                C
Oh, I'll be fine
Em/Am/F            C
   Oh, I’ll be fine
              When I was young I used to check for you under my bed (under my bed)
But now I'm older and instead I let you sleep on it (sleep on it)
You're smoking five days a week
Don't you say I'm why you can't breathe
You got nerve sayin' it ain't that deep
Friends don't wear skin to sleep

Why'd you let me sink in pools of wishful thinking?
I don't want to swim anymore
Look at all these bloodstains I've been calling warpaint
There ain't nothing here to fight for

King of my condo, there's a second toothbrush by the sink (by the sink)
Then I ask where your kingdom lies, you hand me a blank map with X in ink (X in ink)
I'm every metaphor
You hold me like I'm your everything and more
But when the sun rays greet the floor you make it clear I'm everything but yours

Why'd you let me sink in pools of wishful thinking?
I don't want to swim anymore
Look at all these bloodstains I've been calling warpaint
There ain't nothing left to fight for

I'm givin' up the fight
Ain't gonna waste my time
You go run for your life
Be my guest, be my guest
Oh, I'll be fine
Oh, I'll be fine
