          Dm             Bb          Gm         A7 
I feel smothered and encumbered and defeated and drawn 
disappointed over-extended and frustrated and shaken 
this over-giving over-loving this caretaking goes on 
with no chance of intermission I'll be checked out I'll be gone 
 
Dm        Bb                Gm     A7 
Have to remove myself from sensation 
 
Dm              Bb                      Gm                        A7 
Here comes a feeling, I run from the feeling and reach for the drug 
can't sit with this feeling, I'd rather be flying and comfortabely numb 
 
Dm         Bb           Gm         A7 
I feel anxious I am nervous I am bored 
I'm overwhelmed rather be out of my gourd 
Have to remove myself from sensation 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Dm   Bb           Gm            A7 
I am lonely I feel hungry and unloved 
I feel angry I am livid need a hug 
 
(Chorus)
