               Bm      D/A           G 
?I am someone easy to leave?  
      Em7          Bm 
?Even easier to forget?  
        D/A       G  Em7 
A voice, if inaccurate  
 
   Bm           D/A               G 
Again: ?I?m the one they all run from?  
    Em7             Bm 
Diatribes of clouded sun  
        D/A              G        Em7 
Someone help me find the pause button  
Bm          D/A                      G 
  All these tapes in my head swirl around  
Em7                 Bm 
  Keeping my vibe down  
            D/A                           G 
  All these thoughts in my head aren?t my own  
Em7 
  Wreaking havoc  
 
(Bm    D/A    G    Em7) 
?I?m too exhausting to be loved?  
?a volatile chemical?  
?best to quarantine and cut off?  
 
(Bm    D/A    G    Em7) 
All these tapes in my head swirl around  
Keeping my vibe down  
All these thoughts in my head aren?t my own  
Reaking havoc  
 
(Bm    D/A    G    Em7) 
?I?m but thorn in your sweet side?  
?You are better off without me?  
?It?d be best to leave at once?  
 
(Bm    D/A    G    Em7) 
All these tapes in my head swirl around  
Keeping my vibe down  
All these thoughts in my heard aren?t my own  
Wreaking havoc
