verse 1 :
Em
i’m thinking that
it’s time to get out
Em G
my patients are fading fast
Em
the mind bruises just

a little bit easier
Em G
dark times and shadows cast
Em D C
what are you suffering for?
Em D
your pride or some
C
kind of personal war?
Em D C
and when you throw it away
Em D
for nothing more than
C
a simple taste

chorus 1 :
C D
i’ll stay in time and
Em
watch you pass by
[ paranoia woven deep
G C
beneath my skin ]
D
i’ll draw this line
Em D
and hope you’ll take my side
( breath slow breath slow )
C D
you shouldn’t have
Em
to fight alone
[ you shouldn’t have
G C
to fight at all ]
D
its nobody’s battle
Em G
but your own

verse 2 :
Em
panic holds me like a gun
C
firm and steadfast
bleak and cold
Em
i think its time
to kill the drama
C
this life style’s getting old
Em
whispers behind closed doors
C
eyes spy from dark windows
Em
plotting minds that seek
C
to harm me or maybe not
i don’t really know

breakdown :
Em D
there is something
Em C
waiting for me
Em G C
in the darkest
Em
part of my imagination

( repeat chorus 1 )

bridge :
Em
this is just
self – induced terror
there’s more to come
G
this is just a glimpse
Em
i tell myself
it’s all in my head
but i’m pretty
G
hard to convince
Em D
oh there’s no relief
Em D
oh this world can offer
Em D
oh there’s no relief
Em D
oh this world can offer –

chorus 2 : silence
C D
– me i’ll stay in time and
Em
watch you pass by
C D
i’ll draw this line
Em
and hope you’ll take my side
C D
you shouldn’t have
Em
to fight alone
C D
its nobody’s battle
Em C D ( hold )
but your own
