       Gm                        Bb    F 
Cut me open and tell me what's inside 
         Gm                              Bb    F 
Diagnose me cause I can't keep wondering why 
    Gm                                            Bb      F 
And no, it's not a phase cause it happens all the time 
       Gm                                     Bb    F 
Start over, check again, now tell me what you find 
 
 
          Gm 
Cause I'm going out 
     Bb          F 
I'll fake what's real 
              Gm    Bb   F 
Can anyone respond?

Cause the weight of it's like hands around my neck 
                D# 
I never stood a chance 
   Gm                Bb 
My heart is frozen over 
      F                               D#   F 
And I feel like I am treading on thin ice 
 
 
 
     Gm                               Bb       F 
Am I broken? What's the chance I will survive? 
      Gm                                    Bb      F 
Don't trick and doubt me, cause I feel like suicide 
     Gm                                           Bb    F 
Just give it to me straight cause I'm running out of time 
  Gm                                     Bb     F 
I need another drug, now what can you prescribe?

Cause the weight of it's like hands around my neck 
                D# 
I never stood a chance 
   Gm                Bb 
My heart is frozen over 
      F                               D# 
And I feel like I am treading on thin ice 
        F            D# 
And I'm going under
