You can use this intro during the insturmentals before the verses, and 
adjust it to fit
the strumming pattern. During the verses, I would suggest playing the 
Em before D as 0402.
Single strums during the first two choruses.


[Intro]

C  G  Em  D

C  G  Em  C  G  Em


[Verse]

C              G
I don't bother anyone
Em             D
Nervous when I stand
C              G
Chokin' on the circumstance

Em
Only smokin' secondhand (Mm-mm)
C            G
Cut us open, spread us out (Mm-mm)
Em             D
Dry us in the sand (Mm-mm)
C              G
Lay the fibers side by side (Mm-mm)
    Em
And you'll begin to understand (Mm-mm)


[Chorus]

G           D
I know it's over
C
I was born a choker
G        D            C
Nobody's comin' for me
N.C.
Comin' for me


[Post-Chorus]

C  G     Em           D
Mm-mm (I know it's over)
C  Bm     Em
Mm-mm


[Verse]

C              G
I don't bother anyone
Em            D
Never make demands
C              G
Chokin' on the circumstance
Em*
Self-sabotage is a sweet romance (Mm-mm)
C                  G                 Em          D
Seems like all I'm worth is what I'm able to withstand (Mm-mm)
C            G            Em
Sooner I can realize that pain is just a middleman

[Chorus]

G           D
I know it's over
C
I was born a choker
G        D            G
Nobody's comin' for me


[Bridge]

      G       F        C
I see no volunteers to cosign on my fears
       G         D
I'll sign on the line
 G   C Em                     D
Alone, you're gonna change my circumstance
  G  D   C
I know I need to move right now


[Chorus]

G           D
I know it's over
C
I was born a choker
G        D            C
Nobody's comin' for me (Only smokin' secondhand)
G           D
I know it's over
C
I was born a choker
G        D            C
Nobody's comin' for me

Comin' for me


[Outro]

G                      D
Like a little splinter buried in your skin
       C
Someone else can carve it out but when you've got the pin

        G                               D
It hurts a little less and you can even push it further in
          C
When your body's screamin' out, trust your mind's listenin'
G                      D
Like a silhouette that you can barely see
     C
As a shadow cast upon the ground where you'll eventually
G                                     D
Lay forever, but the day goes on, the sun moves behind you
        C
You get taller, bolder, stronger and the rearview only blinds you
