verse 1: Am/F Gm C7 C6
i’m sick to my stomach
think now that i’ve done it
i can do it again
i took those words from a friend.
but nothing is helping
and panic is creeping
up on me in my bed
don’t let it get to my head

verse 2: Am/F Gm C7 C6
you drag me to the show
the kids up there they know
life on a microscope slide
body small and wound up tight.
i wait til you’ve left
finally take a breath
it’s not deep, just to see
if my promise is one to keep

chorus: Bb F C C7 C6 Am/F
you see i’m somewhere here inside
crouched away from all the light
i’m still going blind
if i seem to run away and hide
please know that i really tried
and i'm still here

verse 3: Am/F Gm C7 C6
how do i say this?
my world looks so massive
it’s not easy, walking around
open my mouth and there’s no sound
don’t know what i’m feeling
now i’m disappearing
can you fix the way i think?
slow my thoughts, before i sink

chorus: Bb F C C7 C6 Am/F
you see i’m somewhere here inside
crouched away from all the light
i’m still going blind
if i seem to run away and hide
please know that i really tried
and i'm still here

bridge (instrumental):
Bb F C F, Bb F C

chorus: Bb F C C7 C6 Am/F
you see i’m somewhere here inside
crouched away from all the light
i’m still going blind
if i seem to run away and hide
please know that i really tried
and i'm still here
