              Verse 1:
 
F#m                 C#m 
Yeah I'm feeling so down 
        E                    A 
Like my head could touch the ground 
F#m            C#m 
I'm feeling so sick 
         E            A 
Of these voices in my head 
      F#m            C#m 
These fingers, these fingers 
           E                 A 
They don't play the way they did 
      F#m           C#m 
These voices, these voices 
           E              A 
They won't leave me in my bed 
 
Pre-Chorus
F#m 
Darling I'm amazed 
C#m 
Floating through the days 
       E 
Like a cannonball 
              A 
Like an inner voice says 
F#m 
Honey I'm a waste 
C#m 
Falling through the haze 
       E 
Like a cannonball 
                  A 
Like I'm crashing down 
 
 
F#m    E 
Aaaaaahhhh 
        B 
Like an earthquake 
                A 
I can feel the voices 
F#m    E 
Aaaaaahhhh 
         B                  A             F#m E 
Make the crown shake like a cannonball 
         B                  A             F#m E 
Make the crown shake like a cannonball 
         B                  A             F#m E 
Make the crown shake like a cannonball 
 
Verse 2: 
    F#m              C#m 
This bad taste in my mouth 
            E             A 
Don't think I can get it out 
      F#m               C#m 
These cold sheets in my bed 
            E            A 
And darling where is the head 
F#m C#m 
Oh lord 
        E                A 
I feel, oh, I'm getting old 
 
Pre-Chorus
F#m 
Darling I'm amazed 
C#m 
Floating through the days 
       E 
Like a cannonball 
              A 
Like an inner voice says 
F#m 
Honey I'm a waste 
C#m 
Falling through the haze 
       E 
Like a cannonball 
                  A 
Like I'm crashing down 
 
 
F#m    E 
Aaaaaahhhh 
        B 
Like an earthquake 
                A 
I can feel the voices 
F#m    E 
Aaaaaahhhh 
         B                  A             F#m E 
Make the crown shake like a cannonball 
         B                  A             F#m E 
Make the crown shake like a cannonball 
         B                  A             F#m E 
Make the crown shake like a cannonball 
 
B A

Hopeless

I'm hopeless 
    C#m  B 
I'm lost
