Front Porch Step - Drown

                [Intro]
A#m   C#   G#   D# - 2p
 
[Chorus]
 
       A#m                        C#
I'm so tired of the rain falling softly on the ground,
     G#                                 D#
just enough to get my feet wet but not enough to let me drown.
          A#m                       C#
I've been laying in my bed wishing I had never woken,
        G#                           D#
begging God to rid my head of every word you've ever spoken.
         A#m                             C#
Broke my knuckles on the wall because I thought about the call 
          G#
where you said you'd always love me, 
           D#                 D#
Do you not tell the truth at all?
          A#m                                 C#
Well if I ever cross your mind make sure you write down the times,
   G#                             D#
so I will know the moments I was eating you alive.
 
 
[Verse]
 
      C#                         Fm                G#
Now I lay here waiting with the hope that I might find some sleep.
  D#
I need some sleep tonight.
C#                                 Fm                           G#
'Cause I've been waiting on your call but I know it will never come but 
          D#                C#
I'm still waiting by the phone.
              Fm                    G#
And don't you dare, don't you dare, say you ever loved me 
        D#
or even tell me that you cared 
          Fm                               C#
cause you knew what you were doing and you know just what you've done.
    G#                                  D#
How dare you say you miss me with your spit still on her tongue?
     Fm                       C#
I Am broken, I Am beaten, I'm mistreated and I'm torn,
     G#                              D#
I Am cold with no direction but I'm lost without your warmth.
           Fm                                  C#
I'm trying hard to find some hope that I might get the chance to breathe.
    G#                                           D#
Get off my mind, give back my heart and get the fuck away from me!
         Fm                            C#
I know I couldn't give you much, but I know I gave my best, 
         G#                                D#
you were always my princess, and now he's sliding up your dress.
      Fm                         C#
And I know I gave the world everything I've ever had, 
       G#                                  D#
Johnny Cash said love would burn, I never thought it hurt this bad.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       A#m                        C#
I'm so tired of the rain falling softly on the ground,
     G#                                 D#
just enough to get my feet wet but not enough to let me drown.
          A#m                       C#
I've been laying in my bed wishing I had never woken,
        G#                           D#
begging God to rid my head of every word you've ever spoken.
         A#m                             C#
Broke my knuckles on the wall because I thought about the call 
          G#
where you said you'd always love me, 
           D#
Do you not tell the truth at all?
          A#m                               C#
Well if I ever cross your mind make sure you write down the times,
   G#                             D#

 [Outro]
 
            Fm
You are the itch that's on my back, 
            C#
you are the gum under my shoe, 
            G#
you are the horrors of my past, 
            D#
you are the chill that haunts the room, 
         Fm
you are creaking on my steps, 
        C#
you are cancer, you are plague, 
        G#
you are regret, you are disease,
            D#                     A#m7
I wish that you would Go away.
