[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
