[Verse 1]
                              F/C
My point of reference makes me   afraid to begin
convincing,
Bb                                      A/Db     Dsus2
  But you might as well just change your    name.
                             F/C
'Cause I only recognize this sha-dow,
                  Bb                      A/Db      Bb
Kinda like a superhero with nobody's best interests in
mind.

[Verse 2]
Now there's blood in the waters,
F/C
   that I squeezed from this stone, here
Bb                            A/Db     Dsus2
  And we turned into our cheap    wine.
And I swallowed every drop, yes,
F/C
I  could feel my stomach rotting,
Bb                          A/Db              Bb
You were so supportive as I drank through the pain.

[Chorus]
Dm         Bb        F
  You recognize this shape,
         A                 Dm Bb
it's the back of your hand.
Gm A Dm              Bb    F          A
       You placed it on my face here again, and again,
Dm Bb Gm A
         yeah.
    Dm      C            Bb      F         A      Bb/D     Dm
And I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in  vein.

[Verse 3]
                                F/C
Dove off the deep side platform,   jackknifed and bone dry,
I hit floor
Bb                         A/Db     Dsus2
  One broken ankle saved my    name.
And this eraser burn,
  F/C
I dig in deep at every turn.
   Bb                           A/Db           Bb/D
It keeps getting darker and the fear stays the same.

[Chorus]
Dm         Bb        F
  You recognize this shape,
         A                 Dm Bb
it's the back of your hand.
Gm A Dm              Bb    F          A
       You placed it on my face here again, and again,
Dm Bb Gm A
         yeah.
    Dm      C            Bb      F          Dm
And I don't wanna be the one who takes this place
      C            Bb      F
don't wanna be the one who takes,
Dm      C            Bb      F         A         Bb
I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein.

Bb                     Dm                  C

don't wanna be the one who takes,
Dm      C            Bb      F         A
I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein.
