Intro: C F Am G 

Verse 
C 
I’ve created a monster 
Am 
It feeds on my guilt 
C 
I’m lying with vultures 
Am 
They’re watching me wilt 
C 
Patiently waiting for me to decay 
Am 
I’ve got half of my breath left 

I’m one stitch away 
C 
And no there’s no decorum 

They won’t be polite 
Am 
They’ll just rip up my bones 
                              F  G 
Till there’s no flesh in sight  
Am      F     G 
But I’ll be fine 



       C              F 
It's a long road to the top 
Am 
When your friends play the anchor 
G 
You call they don't answer 
Am                 G 
Don't ask me to watch 
                  F 
While you're killing yourself 
C           G       
Heartbreaks, mistakes 
F 
Trust me I'm a mess 

But I beat myself best 
       Am               G 
It's a long road to the top 
         F 
When you're on your own 


Interlude: C F Am G 


verse 2 
C 
When the feast is all over 
Am 
The crowd disappears 
C 
I’m left with an uneasy sense 
Am 
That I’m soon to face all my fears 
C 
This is the only way I have to show you 
Am 
The things I’m too terrified for anyone to know 
C 
Honestly it’s just to be alone 
Am    F       G 
But I’ll be fine

Bridge

This is me 23 come to end so easily 
G               C 
I’m out of time Whoa 

I’m taking all the chances that a boy should take 
F 
I’ve past the point to care about the bones I break 
Am 
This is me 23 king of my own destiny 
G 
I will be fine
