[Intro] N.C. Sometimes in the morning N.C. I am petrified and can't move N.C. Awake but cannot open my eyes [Verse 1]
        E                             A
And the weight is crushing down on my lungs

         E
I know I can't breathe

    A                      E       B7
And hope someone will save me this time

         E                             A       E
And your mother's still calling you insane and high

A             E              B7
Swearing it's different this time
[Verse 2]
        E
And you tell her to give in

       A               E
To the demons that possess her

     A         E            B7
That God never blessed her insides

         E
Then you hang up the phone

         A         E
And feel badly for upsetting things

    A               E            B7
And crawl back into bed to dream of a time
[Verse 3]
          E
When your heart was open wide

        A                 E
And you loved things just because

         A            E      B7
Like the sick and the dying

    E
And sometimes when you're on

       A              E
You're really fucking on

         A                  E
And your friends, they sing along

         B7
And they love you
[Verse 4]
        E
But the lows are so extreme

         A                  E
That the good seems fucking cheap

       A              E            B7
And it teases you for weeks in its absence

           E
But you'll fight and you'll make it through

       A              E
You'll fake it if you have to

           A           E           B7
And you'll show up for work with a smile
[Verse 5]
              E
And you'll be better and you'll be smarter

         A                     E
And more grown up and a better daughter

   A          E         B7
Or son, and a real good friend

              E
And you'll be awake, you'll be alert

          A                   E
You'll be positive, though it hurts

           A               E          B7
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
[Verse 6]
            E
You'll be a real good listener

          A                 E
You'll be honest, you'll be brave

          A            E         B7
You'll be handsome and you'll be beautiful
You'll be happy [Solo] E E A E A E B7 B7 x2 [Outro]
     E
Your ship may be coming in

       A                   E
You're weak but not giving in

       A             E            B7
To the cries and the wails of the valley below

         E
And your ship may be coming in

       A                   E
You're weak but not giving in

           A                E               B7
And you'll fight it, you'll go out fighting all of them
