Verse I:
F#m A
We threw words like they were sharp knives

Fell like we tripped over a landmine

You said we lost love
A
You made your mind up
E Bm
And I just got quiet, my body went numb
Pre-Chorus:
F#m A
And I pretend that I can handle it
E Bm
and if I hold my head up, I won’t drown
F#m A
I Can’t let go, you’re like the chemical,
E
you’re racing through me
Bm
My heart just pounds, pounds, pounds
Chorus:
A Bm
It’s getting louder and louder
F#m
Every time I think about you, about you
D A
I’ll be better off without you, without you
Bm F#m D
I wish my heart would stop, I wish my heart would stop
A Bm
Beating me up
F#m D
Beating me up
A
Beating me up
Verse II:
F#m A
You’ve moved on, I know I should too

My cuts are all gone, my pain feels brand new
F#m A
Who turned the lights down? Who took my flashlight?

Why does my heart sound like it might burst tonight?

Beating me up

I wish my heart would stop

How’d my heart become my enemy?
