A
Shaking salt in your deep wounds
A
It's a call about to happen too
F#m
Drowning in the punch bowl
F#m
She's got an eye for a big beau
A
So go read it in tea leaves
A
Lady smiling under pressure
F#m
I got a tongue so I can a-use it
F#m
You keep my heart. Choose when to bruise it

[Pre-Chorus]
A
I call you up when you're around
F#m
Slipping off into the same old habits
F#m
Calling others fools when you're defenseless
A
Try this once and try again
F#m
Talking to yourself out loud to no one
F#m
Seems you're never very far from your problems

[Chorus]
C#m     D                   F#m
    Go ahead, I’ll take the hit
             E
You know that I'm used to it
C#m          D            F#m
   Take your time, see me go
             E
Know you could've never known
C#m     D                   F#m
    Go ahead, I’ll take the hit
             E
You know that I'm used to it
C#m     D               F#m
   Take your time, say goodbye
          E               A
When you leave me late at night

[Verse]
A
Am I a fool stuck in love scarves?
A
Just look ahead, do you see us?
F#m
And nothing ever makes sense
F#m
When your secrets always stay crushed
A
So wake me up from my deep dream
A
I was someone with a small heart
F#m
You threw me and you screwed me and you fed me to the fishes
N.C.
Like we've never been together and I'm only just a vision so

[Pre-Chorus]
A
I call you up when you're around
F#m
Slipping off into the same old habits
F#m
Calling others fools when you're defenseless
A
Try this once and try again
F#m
Talking to yourself out loud to no one
F#m
Seems you're never very far from your problems

[Chorus]
C#m     D                   F#m
    Go ahead, I’ll take the hit
             E
You know that I'm used to it
C#m          D            F#m
   Take your time, see me go
             E
Know you could've never known
C#m     D                 F#m
  Go ahead, I’ll take the hit
              E
You know that I'm used to it
C#m     D               F#m
Take your time, say goodbye
            E
When you're leaving late at night
C#m     D                   F#m
    Go ahead, I’ll take the hit
              E
You know that I'm used to it
C#m       D               F#m
Take your time to talk it out
         E
Feelings that are underground

[Outro]
A F#m A F#m
(fading out...)
