Would be the poison in the pen I use to write
C G E/G#
You said you were alone in somewhat of a nervous tone
F Am G
I guess it was the blank look on your face that was easy to replace

Despite having the wounds we both imbibe, the scars are
Am G
Somewhere we can't hide

Am G Am E
What was a space is like a cancer in my soul
