      Bm       G
You know, I'm sorry
         D
I won't make it to your party
           Bm            G
Got caught up in my own selfishness
          D
It won't let me be a part of this
        Bm        G
And I know I've started
  D
Drifting off every second
         Bm               G           D
I can't wait to leave as soon as I arrive
I count the seconds

Chorus:
 Bm       G       D
Down and down we go
       Bm          G        D
We'll torch this place we know
       Bm         G        D
Before one of us takes a chance
       A         G        A     Bm
And breaks this, I won't be the one
    G        A     D
No, I won't be the one

I know it's pathetic
Fuck it, yeah, I said it
Tried to tell it like it is
There's a chance that I'll regret it, so
Let's go, let's end this
I delete before I send it
And we can play pretend
Like we haven't reached the end yet

Chorus:
Down and down we go
And we'll torch this place we know
Before one of us takes a chance
And breaks this, I won't be the one
No, I won't be the one

    G        A     Bm
No, I won't be the one

    G        A     D
No, I won't be the one
