Verse 2:
[Bm]They didn't write her name on the article
[A]That to me just seems pretty farcical

of his hands from a ban from alcohol
[Bm]Fundamental narcissistic
[A]Tried to make out he didn't exist
[Bm]When they wrote on the what
[A]When they wrote on the [Bm]t-shirts, cool merch and [A]postcards
And [Bm]lighting it up like a [A]piece of art
They [Bm]kicked him to the side and left [A]him to starve
The [Bm]memory that's rebreaking his br[A]broken heart
