   This is getting old

traded in this season

for better company


[Refrain 1]
Bm                  D     E
  I get sick to my stomach
      Bm               D
every time I try to confront
     E       F#m
this So many nights spend
               A
staring at the ceiling

right words together
E
  To let you know that
    D
I'm leaving forever
F#m
  Trying to put the
      A
right words together

         D
the dead weight I severed

and wearing me thin
F#m             Bm
   And it's not that
          A
I lost my touch
             D
I just can't make
it hard enough

   E       F#m
or anything   I just
need something
     A
to believe in

right words together
E
  Like a dull blade to
         D
the dead weight I severed

   You tell me that
             A

right words together
E
  To let you know that
    D
I'm leaving forever
