Masochist Chords

capo: 4th fret

[verse]

Bm
  this is a place i know too well
Bm G           Bm
     been down here a while, if you can't tell
Bm G             Bm
     and i have analyzed
             E            G
And tried my best to justify
           Bm
The sorrow i have brought upon myself

[chorus]

       Bm
Am i addicted to the misery
A                           Em
Is this how i'll always be?
                        G
Grinding the salt into every wound?
        Bm
Am i in love with all my ailments
A                       Em
Glutton for punishment?
                          G
You can't trust me to be there for you

[verse]

Bm
  i thought i had this
  Em
I thought i had this all figured out
G
  you'd think i'd learned from all the shit
I fucking screamed about
Bm
  when there was sun
           Em
I couldn't see for the clouds
      G
Still climbing the walls
                               Bm
Of this well just to dive back down

        A
Until i reached my rock bottom
Bm
  down to the marrow
         A
Bringing up the bad blood i'd forgotten
Bm                A
  is it me that's making me sick?
     Bm                       A
Been burning both ends of the wick

[chorus]

       Bm
Am i addicted to the misery
A                           Em
Is this how i'll always be?
                        G
Grinding the salt into every wound?
        Bm
Am i in love with all my ailments
A                       Em
Glutton for punishment?
                          G
You can't trust me to be there for you

              Bm
I've got this cold black
           A
Silhouette hanging like a marionette
Em                     G
  casting a shadow, a shade over me
       Bm
Just a sick, sad, sorry mess
A                       Em
Living like a masochist
                            G
Your worst impressions were right about me

[bridge]

Bm A G
       your worst impressions were right about me
Bm A G
       your worst impressions were right
        G
I could ask you to stay, if you're feeling forgiving
        Bm
I could live with the guilt
       A
If you call this living
        G
I could try to memorize each grain of sand
      Bm
As it slips through my fingers
    A
And falls from my hands
G                            A
  it took me longer than i'd care to admit
Em                         Bm
  this life is only what i choose to make of it
        Em
And the only thing standing
                           G
In-between happiness and myself
Was this depression i held so close to my chest

[chorus]

       Bm
Am i addicted to the misery
A                           Em
Is this how i'll always be?
                        G
Grinding the salt into every wound?
        Bm
Am i in love with all my ailments
A                       Em
Glutton for punishment?
                          G
You can't trust me to be there for you

              Bm
I've got this cold black
           A
Silhouette hanging like a marionette
Em                     G
  casting a shadow, a shade over me
       Bm
Just a sick, sad, sorry mess
A                       Em
Living like a masochist
                            G
Your worst impressions were right about me

[interlude]

Bm  G  Bm  G

[outro]

Bm          A
  wasting a waning youth
Em                         G
  waiting for something to help me pull through
Bm                    A
  i never saw the sun through the clouds
Em                            G
  i lost faith when the skies were falling down
