verse 1 
E                                  C                             G   G5/F#        
Have you had a million reasons why you wish you'd never seen the truth? 
E                                  C                             G   G5/F#  
Have you looked into the mirror and the problem's staring back at you? 
 
 
Pre Chorus 
E                                            C                         
I can't control myself, don't know who I've been 
G                                       G5/F#  
And who is this monster wearing my skin? 
E                                        C  
A movie in black and white, when will it end? 
G                                       G5/F# 
Cause every time I scream no one hears me 
 
 
Chorus 
E                                      C 
It feels like I'm paralyzed, and I can't 
G                                   D 
Escape from the prison I'm living in 
E                                      C 
I'm naming the voices in my head 
G                                   D 
They keep on telling me to give in 
                 A 
But it's making me stronger 
                 B 
Fight a little longer 
                 C            D 
I'm gonna bring me back to life 
 
And I won't be paralyzed

Have you searched for something deeper out of fear that life's a lonely road? 
E                                  C                                    G   G5/F#        
Have you roamed the darkest corners of the earth until you're just a ghost?

I'm not afraid, I can face my demons

Even if they tear me down

If I fall, let me fall, it might take time 
D        E        G           A 
But I'll find my own way out
