Versión 2 - Firewater (Letra y acordes)
E5           B5           C#5    A5
  You sat me down beside myself
E5           B5              C#5             A5
  To show me all the reasons I was wrong for you
E5             B5                 C#5  A5
  Was this for real? It's hard to tell
E5                     B5             C#5         
  'Cause it was such a beautiful mess we had got 
  A5
into

E5          B5             C#5                A5
  I'm gonna overcome this, paper hearts can't win this time
E5         B5                 C#5
  And all along I should have known this wasn't 
      A5
your dream, it was mine
E5           B5        C#5             A5
  I know you wanted me to give up this life to be
  E5           B5                C#5
  Everything I was back when you had the hands my 
A5
heart was in
C#5   B5    A5         B5
I was never good at goodbye...
E5                   B5
  Can I swallow this bottle whole?
        C#5                   A5
So this brain in my head can forget your face
E5            B5           C#5
When we were starting out, you believed in me 
  A5
without a doubt
E5             B5              C#5         A5
  You were the finest thing to happen to a boy like me
E5             B5        C#5               A5
  It's so much harder now, I wanna try and tell you how
E5               B5          C#5              A5
There is so much love in me, even though it's hard to see
    C#5   B5    A5         B5
And I was never good at goodbye...
E5                   B5
  Can I swallow this bottle whole? 
        C#5                    A5
So this brain in my head can forget your face
E5                   B5
  Can I swallow this bottle whole?
           C#5                      A5
'Cause I'd rather be dead than make more mistakes
E5        B5             C#5   A5
  Today I couldn't stay awake
E5               B5               C#5       A5
  Feels like I'm drowning in this firewater lake
E5           B5              C#5    A5
  I won't be sleeping much tonight
E5             B5               C#5         A
  It's not the same without you lying by my side
(Right beside me)

E5                   B5
  Can I swallow this bottle whole? 
        C#5                    A5
So this brain in my head can forget your face
E5                   B5
  Can I swallow this bottle whole?
           C#5                      A5
'Cause I'd rather be dead than make more mistakes
E5           B5        C#5           A5
  I know you wanted me to give up my life to be
(Can I swallow this bottle whole?)
E5           B5                 C#5             A5
Everything I am when you're the only thing that I can see
(Can I swallow this bottle whole?)
E5        B5                  C#5          A5
I'm sorry but you're not the, not the only one for me

(So this brain in my head can forget your face)
E5            B5            C#5   A5
  You left me here beside myself
E5             B5                  C#5
  Left me with all the reasons why I was wrong for 
A5
you
