A D
Let's forget, I forgot I could just lose it all
A D
I can't stop, fill my cup, throw it against the wall
Bm E
I smash into a thousand pieces of me
F#m D
No escape if I got nowhere to be
Bm E
Drop to the floor and nod off praying for sleep
F#m D
In my head, I can't get rid of the beat
[Chorus]
D E
Back to back with you, tell me I'm the same
A F#m
In the darkest room, I sing for yesterday
D E
Black and black and blue, edges sleep away
A Bm
Concrete in my shoes won't let me off the chain
C#m D
If I have to choose, if I have to change
E A
I'll be standing back to back with you
[Verse]
A D
Oh, guess what (guess what), August comes, walks right in through the door
A D
skin peels off, in the sun, I feel a little raw
Bm E
Playback those messages and look for a thread
F#m D
what was real and what I wish I had said
Bm E
Fingers in ears and say I'm listening, listing all my hangups
F#m D
In the end, I think I'd rather be dead
[Chorus]
D E
Back to back with you, tell me I'm the same
A F#m
In the darkest room, I sing for yesterday
D E
Black and black and blue, edges sleep away
A Bm
Concrete in my shoes won't let me off the chain
C#m D
If I have to choose, if I have to change
E D
I'll be standing back to back with you
[Bridge]
E A F#m
With me, everything, still won't believe
D
How could I lose? (How could I lose?)
E
How could that be? (How could that be?)
A F#m
How 'bout a truce? Now let it in
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Let's forget
D
I forgot
[Chorus]
D E
Back to back with you, tell me I'm the same
A F#m
In the darkest room, I sing for yesterday
D E
Black and black and blue, edges sleep away
A Bm
Concrete in my shoes won't let me off the chain
C#m D
I have to choose if I have to change
E A
I'll be standing back to back with you
