Am             Em
You see dating's just a tool I use
                        G
to figure out that I don't love someone.
Am                            G                        Em             G
Heart is a clock but I just sleep through my alarm.
       Am                                  Bm
And now it seems I've finally found someone
           Em                       G
but his heart belongs to someone else.
          Am                          G                       Em                     G
I can't stop the hand from turning with my arm.


[Chorus 1]
Am              G                    Em
So it's just another night I cannot sleep.
           Am                  G                         Em
Just another flashing light I'm forced to see,
           Am          Em                      G                        Em
but at least I've tried. I've tried so hard to close my eyes
        A      G           D   Em
and sleep through my screams.

[Verse 1]
Am                        Em
Now it seems I've lost myself.
                             G
What I want today might change as well.
Am                 G
Chasing my way out of Hell
       Em                           G
with invisible tape on my damaged shell
            Am                  Bm
and he really likes me too, I guess,
        Em                         G
with all those nights we spent undressed.
A                                G                   Em       G
Hope, to him, I'm not just someone else.
         Am                  Bm
And we listened to the pain we shared
          Em                                   G
as we walked and talked in the cold night air
         Am                     G              Em             E
and I told him he was filling up a void.
        Am                        Bm
I said "Holes they can dig deeply, yes,
           Em             G
they can eat you up inside your chest so
Am                     G
listen close while I digest and
Em                     G
tell you why my eyes are red.

[Chorus 2]
Am              G                     Em
It was just another sign I could not see.
        Am             G                            Em
It was just the final time she made me bleed
        Am           Em                   G                   Em
and she saw me cry when I was tired of all her lies,
         A    G                Em
then she turned from me."

[Verse 2]
Em
Now the stress shows through my face
                            G
with more tension in my living space.
Am                G
Finally come face to face
          Em                            G
with the man I thought would scare me away
            Am                        G
but we stayed up all night like before.
         Em                          G
Each story told made me think more
        Am                        G                       Em          G
that I hope that he will trust in me someday
            Am                   G                   Em               G
cuz I'm not just gonna lie right to his face
       Am                 E                             Em            G
so I hope that I don't make the same mistakes


[Bridge]
        Em
But I'll try
        C
to decide
      G
something for myself
        A                        G       A   Em
without someone to guide my mind
             C
but I'll still deny

             G               A           G           Em
that I'd be happier if I kept my mind off "why"
       C
Oh, why?
       G
Oh, why?
       A  G Em
Oh, why?

       C
Oh, why?
       G
Oh, why?
       A  G Em
Oh, why?

(Keep playing Em throughout)

[Verse 3]

           Am              G                           Em
It was just another mask I've come to be.
          Am               G       Em
It was just another insecurity
          Am          Em                   G                    Em
but at least I've tried. You can't deny that I've tried
     A    G       Em
to see objectively.
