[Intro]
Am       Em
I cannot close my eyes

          G     D
I cannot fall asleep

Am             Em               G
Suffocating in doubt, all night face-down

D                F
Drowning in this memory
[Verse 1]
     Am     Em
As I lay me down to sleep

  G                 D
I pray the memories won’t find me

        Am                            Em
Hit the bottle, hit the pills, trying anything

G                       D
Just to forget what you did to me

      Am               Em
Won’t tell my friends, won’t tell my shrink

      G              D
Yeah, maybe I should say something

        Am                       Em
But I’m terrified you’ll put the blame on me

     G                            D
So I live with the ghost, keep it buried deep
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm             Am            Em
Face-down as I drown in this memory

Dm         Am          Em
My past is taking over me

Dm         Am                Em        G
The more I fight it, it just won’t let go
[Chorus]
Am       Em
I cannot close my eyes

          G     D
I cannot fall asleep

Am             Em               G
Suffocating in doubt, all night face-down

D                F
Drowning in this memory
An Em It has me paralyzed
            G        D
It’s always haunting me

    Am         Em                        G
And no one believes me ’cause no one can see it

      D
Might kill me to keep it

     F
It’s my little secret
[Verse 2]
     Am             Em
I’ve seen so much I can’t unsee

     G                 D
I’ve learned to suffer silently
Am En Fight a war every day that no one sees
     G              D
It’s torture always remembering
Am En I don’t want them to think I’m weak
     G                D
So I bite my tongue until it bleeds

    Am                Em
The weight of this is breaking me

    G                     D
To keep it under lock and key
[Chorus]
Am       Em
I cannot close my eyes

          G     D
I cannot fall asleep

Am             Em               G
Suffocating in doubt, all night face-down

D                F
Drowning in this memory
An Em It has me paralyzed
            G        D
It’s always haunting me

    Am         Em                        G
And no one believes me ’cause no one can see it

      D
Might kill me to keep it

     F
It’s my little secret
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm             Am            Em
Face-down as I drown in this memory

Dm         Am          Em
My past is taking over me

Dm         Am                Em        G
The more I fight it, it just won’t let go

I cannot close my eyes
