[Intro]
Em              Am     G
Hello darkness, my old friend (Hello)
Em             D     C
Knocking at my door again (*Knock knock knock*)
Em            Am      G
Begging me to come outside, I
Em             D     C
Let you back into my life
     Em             Am      G
Now, usually I'd be strong enough
   Em                 D        C
To lock the doors and keep 'em shut
    Em             D    C
But not today, I'm desperate (Desperate)
   Em           D       C
So go ahead and come on in
   Em           D       C
So go ahead and come on in
   Em           D       Em
So go ahead and come on in


[Verse]
Em
OCD is worse than ever, hands are bleeding

Maybe I should take the pills, don't
G
Know what's going on with me somedays

I actually think I might be schizo-
D
Phrenic, prolly not but even writing this is makin' me begin to spiral
  C
Oh God (Oh, oh, oh)
Em
Made a promisе to myself I wouldn't let the fеar back in but then I did though
G
Told the world that I was sick of running then went back to running, what a joke oh
D
Disappointed, yeah me too, I thought I finally had finally made a breakthrough
     C
Guess not
         Em
It's the same song and dance, you've all seen it before
         G
Darkness holds out his hand, then we walk to the floor
      D
Every decision made isn't mine anymore
       C
Like a puppet with strings, I just don't have a choice
           Em
What's the truth? What's a lie?

Help me God, help me Lord
          G
Face your fears, dry your eyes

Grandma died, what's the point?
         D
Lost the keys, lost my hope, lost my will, lost my joy
       C
Lost a friend, lost my home, lost my faith, lost my voice


[Interlude]
Em  G  D  C
            (Desperate)


[Chorus]
Em               G                D
Standing back watching my mansion burn to ash
      C Em
While I hold the gas can
G             D               C
Asking God if He started this fire
                 Em                       G
Is this what you wanted? Is this what you wanted?
            D
Make all my hopes and my dreams come to life
                    C
Just to lay them to rest
                 Em                       G
Is this what you wanted? Is this what you wanted?
          D                                                      C
Gave me a false sense of peace just to show me what peace really is
                 Em
Is this what you wanted?


[Bridge]

On the verge, on the edge
                 G
Is this what you wanted?

Petrified, scared to death
                 D
Is this what you wanted?

Praying to God, desperate
                 C
Is this what you wanted?

What you wanted
                 Em
Is this what you wanted?

Hanging on by a thread
                 G
Is this what you wanted?

Empty heart, nothing left
                 D
Is this what you wanted?

Breaking down, spiraling
                 C
Is this what you wanted?

What You wanted?
                 Em
Is this what you wanted?


[Chorus]
                 G                D
Standing back watching my mansion burn to ash
      C Em
While I hold the gas can
G             D               C
Asking God if He started this fire


[Outro]
Em  G  D  C
