Lose One Friend Chords by Hotel Books

[Gb] _ _ _ [E] _ Watching your muscles ache from the stress in your back, waiting for [Abm] bones to break from
the weight of what you [B] lack.
I would spend all my time helping [E] you find truth, and it really cuts like a knife knowing
I can't save you.
Cause [Abm] saying goodbye hurts the [B] worst when you know it's the [Gb] final word.
It comes [E] across like a curse, and I can't believe you said it first.
[Abm] So now the final word on the final [B]
page of the final chapter of this narrative [E] we made
is my weak conscience whispering words through my mouth.
The very words [Abm] that I prayed would never [B] come out.
[Ebm] I kept clinging [E] on to the past and hoped the future [B] would be the same, cause we would cry
and laugh knowing the [Abm] past would not [B] remain.
_ And I would argue with [E] God.
Every night I would lie [B]
awake and lie to myself hoping all of this was [Abm] fake, cause I [B] got a
new perspective on general anesthetics.
[E] When you finally went to see Jesus, and all your [B] family learned how to [Abm] believe in a void,
cause that's all they could [B] see in us. _ _
Cigarettes, smoke, and broken words.
My heart became the platform for everything they hated the most, and I stayed clear of
the rest, hoping [E] someone would come by and [Abm] cut this rope.
_ _ [B] Your apartment got so empty, we moved to that city with the streets of gold.
And now I know what you meant when you said that this room can grow so terrible in gold. _
_ _ [Abm] And I wrestled with the idea of [B] taking your place, but now I know that if anybody deserves
a break from this world of [E] pain, it's you.
[B] It's not me.
_ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Abm] And I still want sleep.
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [E] _
_ It's not about being there for me.
It's about respecting me enough [Abm] to tell me why you're not.
So I'll just slip [B] back into my sleep, [Dbm] cause there's a demon in [E] my casket and I think that
we've fallen in love.
And most [Abm] nights, _ [B] I wish it was you.
