Drowning

	  		
Em                  Am 
It's four a.m. again 

Em                               Am 
Father, forgive me this sin 

Em                             Am 
Uncomfortable in this life, yeah 

Em                           Am 
I can't put down this knife, yeah 

Em                                   Am 
I'm carving words in my arms, baby 

Em                                    Am 
These scars are part of my charm, maybe 

Em                           Am 
I need the touch of a hand 

Em                            Am 
This isn't what I had planned 

Em                      D 
I need relief from this life 

             C    Am       C 
I wanna slip away into the night 

        Em                      G 
Don't wanna see the sun again 

                  Am                            C 
But can't get swallowed up by this tragic whirlwind 

Em               D            Em   C  Em 
I wish the ocean was warm 

   D             Am   Em   C 
I feel like drowning 

Em 
I'm losing my faith in me 

Am                                                 Em 
I can't remember the last time I felt free 

                 Am 
From voices inside my head 

Em                              Am                      C 
When I taste liberation, they just feed me fear instead 

Em                       Am 
You say I'm out of control 

Em                          Am 
At least I still have a soul 

Em               Am             Em 
No, I don't need your advice 

                        G               C 
Some compassion would be nice 

Em                      D 
I need relief from this life 

             C        D         C 
I wanna slip away into the night 

        Em                   G 
Don't wanna see the sun again 

                   Am                            C 
But can't get swallowed up by this tragic whirlwind 

Em               D             Em   C   Em 
I wish the ocean was warm 

                Am   Em  C 
I feel like drowning 

Em                                        Am 
I can't take any more of your pills 

Em                     D 
They hold my head up 

        Am 
But still it feels so wrong 

Em             D                                    Em 
I can't believe the price that I've paid 

Am           Em                          G                       Em               Am 
For this chemically-induced, perceivably ideal, take-it-with-a-glass-of- 
         Em   D  Am   Em   Am 
water day 


Em                      D 
I need relief from this life 

             Am            G          C 
I wanna slip away into the night 


        Em                   G 
Don't wanna see the sun again 


                   Am                            C 
But can't get swallowed up by this tragic whirlwind 


Em               D             Em   C   Em 
I wish the ocean was warm 

                Am   Em  C 
I feel like drowning
