D/F#      G          Bm    A
I want to crawl back inside my mother's womb
D/F#      G                Bm             A
I want to shut out all the lights in this room
D/F#      G          Bm       A          D/F#
I want to start fresh, like a baby in a sink
      G              Bm              A        D/F# G Bm A
Scrub away all these thoughts that I think of you
 
D/F# G Bm A
 
D/F#          G     Bm           A                  D/F#
So life moves slowly when you're waiting for it to boil
            G                 Bm        A
Feel like I watch from 6 feet under the soil
D/F#          G       Bm   A                D/F#
Still want to hold you and kiss behind your ears
        G                   Bm           A        D/F# G Bm A D
But I recount the countless tears that I lost for you
 
   A               Bm G           D
Before you finally go (before you go)
 
        A                    Bm  G
There's one thing you should know
That I promise -
 
Bm   A   G
Starting now I'll never know your name
Bm   A   G
Starting now I'll never feel the same
Bm   A   G                    D/F#   A     Bm  G
Starting now I wish you never came into my world
 
D/F# G Bm A
 
D/F#      G         Bm     A           D/F#
I want to crawl back inside my bed of sin
          G                    Bm              A
I want to burn the sheets that smell like your skin
D/F#         G         Bm        A                 D/F#
Instead I'll wash them just like kitchen rags with stains
         G          Bm           A        D/F# G Bm A D
Spinning away every piece that remains of you
 
   A               Bm G           D
Before you finally go (before you go)
        A                    Bm G
There's one thing you should know
That I promise -
 
Bm   A   G
Starting now I'll never know your name,
Bm   A   G
Starting now I'll never feel the same
Bm   A   G                    D   A        Bm  G
Starting now I wish you never came into my world
 
D A Bm G
 
D          A            Bm      G
It's my world, it's not ours anymore
        D               A       Bm    G
It's my world, it's not ours anymore
 
Bm   A   G
Starting now I'll never know your name
Bm   A   G
Starting now I'll never feel the same
Bm   A   G
Starting now
Bm   A   G
Starting now (it's my world)
Bm   A   G
Starting now (it's my world)
Bm   A   G
Starting now (it's my world)
 
                 D   A        Bm  G
I wish you never came into my world
         D
Starting now (starting now)
A       Bm  G
Into my world
         D
Starting now (starting now)
A       Bm  G
Into my world
          D A Bm G D
Starting now
