Chords

[Verse I]
Em
Over and over again

             Bm
I relive the moment

    C
I'm bearing the burden within

     D
Open wounds hidden under my skin

Em 
Pain is real as a cut that bleeds

Bm                                 Am
The face I see every time I try to sleep

Bm            Em
Staring at me crying
[Chorus]
C                    Am    Em
I'm running from the enemy inside

C               Am          Em
Looking for the life I left behind

C                 Am           Em             D
These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind

Bm                          Am    Em
And I can't escape from the enemy inside

Em
I sever myself from the world

              Bm
and shut down completely

      C
All alone in my own living hell

     D
overcome with irrational fear

Em                         
Under the weight of the world on my chest

Bm                                      Am
I buckle and break as I try to catch my breath

Bm              Em
Tell me I'm not dying
[Chorus]
C                    Am    Em
I'm running from the enemy inside

C               Am          Em
Looking for the life I left behind

C                 Am           Em             D
These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind

Bm                          Am    Em
And I can't escape from the enemy inside
[Break]
Em                 Bm
I'm a burden and a travesty

F                 Em
I'm a prisoner of regret

Em                             Bm
Between the flashbacks and the violent dreams

F                   Em
I am hanging on the edge

C                         Em
Disaster lurks around the bend

G                   Am
Paradise came to an end

F            Em
And no magic pill

C                 Em
can bring it back again
[Chorus]
C                    Am    Em
I'm running from the enemy inside

C               Am          Em
Looking for the life I left behind

C                 Am           Em             D
These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind

Bm                          Am    Em
And I can't escape from the enemy inside
