[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
