C Am Em G 

 
C        Am          Em 
 I'm alive, that's a plus 
                 G                      C 
But it's getting heavy, better lighten up 
         Am       Em 
I'm a liar, I'm a lush 
                  G                      C 
I don't think I'm ready to let go of the rush 


 
           Am            Em 
Hold on so tightly to my pride 
             G               C 
You'll never see the tears I cry 
           Am              D 
Behind the curtain where I hide 
                                          G 
Once they dry, I'm runnin' to the spotlight 


 
                          Em 
But I don't wanna lose control 
                          C 
I feel the ceiling cavin' in 
                           D 
And all the lessons that unfold 
                             G 
I learn again and again and again 
                          Em 
And I don't wanna lose control 
                            C 
I feel the pressure closin' in 
                           D 
And all the lessons that unfold 
                             C 
I learn again and again and again 
               Am                  Em   G 
And again and again and again and again 


C           Am             Em 
 Fall in love, call my bluff 
                G                              C 
Think he's on a knee but he's just pulling the rug 
     Am            Em 
All alone, all for what? 
                G                         C 
Look around but I don't see someone I can trust 


            Am            Em 
And now the blame is only mine 
         G            C 
I'm in a hell of my design 
               Am            D 
'Cause I don't know how to define 
                                               G 
What I want, what I don't, now I've run out of time 

 
                      Em 
I don't wanna lose control 
                          C 
I feel the ceiling cavin' in 
                           D 
And all the lessons that unfold 
                             G 
I learn again and again and again 
                          Em 
And I don't wanna lose control 
                            C 
I feel the pressure closin' in 
                           D 
And all the lessons that unfold 
                             C 
I learn again and again and again 
               Am                  Em   G 
And again and again and again and again 


D                 Em           G        C 
All of my history plays out in front of me 
                           D 
Like they're reruns on the screen 
                       Em         G     C 
All the same mistakes, fuckin' up every take 
                          D 
And I'm the same in every scene 
                      Em            G         C 
Killin' off the cast, showin' up in all of my past 
                          D 
Like I'm some human guillotine 
                      Em               G          C 
Calling "Cut, that's enough," I should go with my gut 
                          D 
But I don't 'cause I know that I
