F When I stop caring, you stop caring F G Am When I care less, and you care less than me C G F When I don't need and I don't believe in F G Am The hollow phrases you still repeat C G F You and I, we fall apart F G Am C G Now I know what it means to unravel F It's a new and shallow grief F G Am C G A pathetic kind of sad relief F G It didn't used to feel this good to be all alone Am Doing every damn thing I can to not go home Chorus: F G Am I give up, I give up on you now C G F G Am I give up, how far can you fall, C When you're already down? I gave you that told-you-so look that makes you crazy And you gave me that list of things about myself to change And now these days, it's every night, babe It's not a rough patch, it's not a phase You and I, we fall apart Now I know what it means to unravel It's a new and shallow grief An apathetic kind of self-defeat It didn't used to feel this good to be all alone Doing every damn thing I can to not go home Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  C  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
