G6/9                     Emadd9
Chemicals like hugs from

                                      G6/9   Emadd9
inside they feel like  my best friend
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7                                  Cadd9
You think me a coward but I am a warrior

                        G6/9   Emadd9
With many voices in my he-ad

Am7                                  Cadd9
When I looked around and I reached out

                 G6/9   Emadd9
I saw no alternative
[Chorus]
    Am7  Em    D   Am7          G6/9   Emadd9
And God rest,  God rest our souls

         Am7  Em            D    Am7            G6/9   Emadd9
And this substance is the only comfort I know

           Am7          Em
He's been hurting for a while

       D                   Am7
Can we cut this man some slack

             G6/9                Emadd9
Let him lie down, let him lie dow-o-own
[Verse 2] G6/9 Emadd9 N.C. We are a country
                                G6/9                   Emadd9
that's desperate for the embr y onic

G6/9                   Emadd9
I'm cold and I'm hungry

Emadd9                                G6/9                   Emadd9
And I yearn for a hand on my forehead
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7                                            Cadd9
You think it's a walk in the park and it's easy

                             G6/9                   Emadd9
She's got it as good as it gets

Am7                                      Cadd9
This misunderstanding's a line between living

                     G6/9                   Emadd9
And being the walking dead
[Chorus]
    Am7  Em    D     Am7          G6/9   Emadd9
And God rest, please rest our souls

          Am7  Em           D     Am7            G6/9   Emadd9
And the more I take, the less comfort I know

           Am7            Em
She's been pushing for a while

         D               Am7
Can we cut this woman slack

             G6/9                Emadd9
Let her lie down, let her lie down
[Verse 3]
 G6/9                        Emadd9
The more that you hurl at me

                           G6/9        Emadd9
The more I will curl up in my bed

G6/9                   Emadd9
Where's the humanity?

                                        G6/9          Emadd9
Aren't we all hovering around the same end?
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7                                Cadd9
Door number 1, 2 and 3 have been promises

                      G6/9           Emadd9
That aren't enough to be kept

Am7                                Cadd9
You wish me a speedy recovery

                           G6/9           Emadd9
But when you turn I plumb the depths
[Chorus]
    Am7  Em    D     Am7          G6/9   Emadd9
And God rest, God please rest our souls

            Am7  Em  D   Am7            G6/9   Emadd9
This is the surest   ex-it I have known

         Am7            Em
We've been hurting for a while

       D               Am7
Can we cut ourselves some slack

            G6/9                Emadd9
Let us lie down, let us lie down

            G6/9                Em9
Let us lie down, let me lie down
