Song: Drowning Show: MONSTER: A New Musical Music & Lyrics by Michael Toolan Roche Concert Reading Music Lyric Video: https://youtu.be/qGK0dSE1LQo [Intro]
Am      F               G
I       feel like I’m    drowning.

Am      F               G               B       Am
I       feel like       I               can’t   breathe.
[Verse 1]
      Am                    F
In a town where people, always judge me

G                       Am
Under suspicion, I’ll never be free

Am              F
Told be quiet, not to say a word.

G                               Am
Don’t express your feelings, ‘cause you’ll never be heard.
[Chorus 1]
Am      F               G
I       feel like I’m    drowning.

Am      F               G               B       Am
I       feel like       I               can’t   breathe.

Am           F          G
Shackled  to an         anchor

Am      F               G               B       Am
And     it's            impossible      to      leave.
[Verse 2]
        Am                F
This pressure of life, is holding me down

      G                   Am
At times I feel like I’m going to drown

      Am                    F
An ocean of crazy, swirls around me

G                            Am
Strangling my voice, so I just can’t breathe
[Chorus 2]
Am      F               G
I       feel like I’m    drowning.

Am      F               G               B       Am
I       feel like       I               can’t   breathe.

Am              F               G
Handcuffed to an        anchor

Am      F               G               B       Am
And     it's            impossible      to      leave.
Tempo get faster [Bridge]
Am    F                G                   Am   G
   In a town where people, always judge me

    F                    G              Am   G
I put on a smile, appearing care-free

       F                                     G            Am   G
The mask people see hide the tears of a clown

       F                                        G         Am   G
But deep down inside feels like I’m about to drown.

 G    Am
The waves come crashing right onto my brain

G   Am
So fast! So furious! Like I’m going insane

G     F
The only way for me not to drown,

G     Am
Is to find a way out of this god-forsaken town.

G              Am
Leave this raging ocean of hate behind

G              Am
When I’m out of the danger who knows what I’ll find.

G       F
Keep floating! Keep swimming! Keep my head held high!

G    Am                           Am
 Un-like the caged bird singing, one day I’m gonna fly.
[Chorus 3]
Am      C         D              D C B Am
‘Cause I’m      tired of   drowning.

        Am        C      D   Em  D    C  G   Am
Time to spread my wings    and     fly.

Am      C         D              D C B Am
     Yes I’m    tired of   drowning.

        Am        C      D   Em  D    C  G   Am
Time to spread my wings    and     fly.

Am      F       G       Am
       To Flyyyyyyyyyy
F G Am END of song
