C2
It's time I said this
                                     Am
But I'm so choked up and I need my sanity
       F2                                G                             C2
I'm scared, believe me, you can see me smile if you let me just stick around.


C2
Well this is bye-bye baby
                                     Am
It isn't like a sudden stop on a freight train
     F2                               G                             C2
If you're not happy and you hurt this much, then let me just stick around.


                  F2                  G
But can I have one second of your time?
                               F2
If I don't it'll drive me crazy.
                                G
As I drop to my knees and scream,

I hate you more than you could know.


C2     
I hope you fall into the ocean
G                            G/G#                 Am           
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
                                      G             F2              G
As the waves crash over you until you drown. 

(And fall away..)


C2
And hold a funeral for nothing
G                                            G/G#                               Am
And celebrate how empty love can be broken
C2              G               F2               G                   
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground


C2
Now it's back to reality 
                                              Am
I'm up in shambles but I guess that's how I should be
G                                                         F2                               
I knew the wedding bells were ringing well, but my bride was missing.


                                 C2
It's not supposed to hurt this much
                                    Am
But when someone slowly breaks it off
 C2                           F2                           G                  
It tends to leave a bitter taste, a scar, that slowly rips apart.

               F2                                         G
Could I have one second of your time?
                                       F2
If I don't, it'll drive me crazy.
                                                    G
As I drop to my knees and scream, 

I hate you more than you could know.


C2     
I hope you fall into the ocean
G                             G/G#                 Am            
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
        G             F2              G
As the waves crash over you until you drown. 

(And fall away..)

And celebrate how empty love can be broken
 C2                     G                      F2                 G                   
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground
Am  F2
Underground..


Am
I've had enough, but it's all for the best.
G
I need to get a few things off my chest.
Em   
There's got to be another way I can say it,
           F2                 G
But to get it right, I have to think straight.
Am
Hope he tastes like the way I used to taste.
G                                                                  Em
I can't believe I'd even say this to you now.
             F2              G           C2
When you won't listen at all.


C2     
I hope you fall into the ocean
G                                                  G/G#                                Am
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
        G                     F2              G
As the waves crash over you and over you until you drown. 
C2
And hold a funeral for nothing
G                  G/G#               Am
And celebrate how empty love can be broken

It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground
Am             G           F2            Fm     C2
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground.
