C G Em F C
I am just another fool and I have to keep telling myself that

I am just a hypocrite and I have to keep calling you one

And I forgot to bite my tongue and my assumption is the mother of all mistakes

So I assume the role, open my mouth
F Fm C
And clumsy words escape
C Bb F
So why you, wanna be there?
G
When you could be here

You are slippin' away

I awake with your replacement
Em F Fm C
A bottle in my grasp in an unfamiliar place

'Cause you put me out

The butt of a sick joke into this ashtray life
Fm C
As you come and go
G Em
And I forgot to service you and we broke down

I bring out the worst in you and you try and let me know

You bring out the worst in me

Anxiety, anxiety

I'm trying to let you go

You say I'm giving you the creeps
