**Chords:**
Am  C  D  Am

Am               C
I hurt myself today  
       D                      Am
To see if I still feel  
Am                 C
I focus on the pain  
         D                Am
The only thing that's real  

Am                C
The needle tears a hole  
      D                    Am
The old familiar sting  
Am                  C
Try to kill it all away  
          D                  Am
But I remember everything  

Am              C
What have I become  
              D              Am
My sweetest friend?  
Am                   C
Everyone I know  
              D                Am
Goes away in the end  

Am                  C
And you could have it all  
          D              Am
My empire of dirt  
Am                 C
I will let you down  
          D                Am
I will make you hurt
