In A Lose Lose Situation Chords & Lyrics - Emery

Tuning: 1/2 step down

A7sus4 (picked throughout the intro)
don't be late
there's no time to be afraid
there's a way
to clean up the mess you've made

[Am]if I could tell the truth
or l[G]ie would I atte[D/F#]mpt the two at the same time
[Am] expect you to apolog[G]ize for trying
to m[D/F#]ake me so up tig[Am]ht
[Am] don't say it's just a [Em7]game we play
I can't lose the taste

[G]if you [Am]regulate how the blood is pumping
through the veins from my heart into my [G]head
in time this blood supply
will [D/F#]change me from red to white
[Am] every thought that you know I'm thinking
may as well be the knife stuck in my ba[G]ck
[G]this taxing [D/F#]fever makes me [Am]gravitate to this pla[Em]ce

this is still my [Am]life
not [G]yours to de[Am]fine

[Em] (anyone[Am] in their right [D/F#]mind would never [G]let you inside
[Em] anyone[Am] in their right [D/F#]mind)

I've[Em] broken ties with the neig[Am]hborhood
[D/F#]feeling like a bum[G] in the city[Em]
[Am] waking on[D/F#]ly to take a dr[G]ink
from an em[Em]pty glass of no[Am]thing good
then si[D/F#]nking like a st[G]one in the sea [Em]
wit[Am]hout the [D/F#]oxygen I [G]need

[G]deciding as I wait for air to entertain
[CM7]careful [Em]not to (to breathe [Em7]in [3x])
[G]the right time and the right way to elevate
[CM7]careful [Em]not to (to breathe [Em7]in [3x])
to b[G]reathe i[A7sus4]n the air that so proudly puts to death
my own Fat[G]her's name
[Gsus2]I re--[G]member when your hand started sha[Em7]king [G]
[Gsus2]there's a [G]better way
[Gsus2]to clean [G]up the mess you've been mak[Em7]ing [G]
