[Intro]
D A Gm D
[Verse 1]
D A
Can I wish on a star for another life?
Bm A
‘Cause it feels like I’m all on my own tonight
G A
And I find myself in pieces
D A
There are pills on the table and a thought in my head
Bm D
And I walk through the halls where I used to be led
G A
My heart is filled with reasons
[Pre-Chorus]
D A
I’m trying to be somebody else
Gm D
I’m finding it hard to love myself
D A
I’ve wanted to be somebody new
Gm D
But that is impossible to do
[Chorus]
D A
I’m running out of my mind
Bm A
Is this really, my life?
D A
I’m running out of time
Bm A
Is this really my life? My life
[Instrumental]
D A Bm A
[Verse 2]
D A
I could run from it all but I’d only get lost
Bm A
Oh, I’ve walked down the bridge that I shouldn’t have crossed
G A
And I find myself, a user
D A
Oh, I wake every day with addictions to feed
Bm A
They all call me a friend but I’ll never be freed
G A
From the face of a faithless future
[Pre-Chorus]
D A
I’m trying to be somebody else
Gm D
I’m finding it hard to love myself
D A
I’ve wanted to be somebody new
Gm D
But that is impossible to do
[Chorus]

I’m running out of my mind
Bm A
Is this really, my life?
D A
I’m running out of time
Bm A
Is this really my life? My life
[Refrain]
D A Bm
These years pass by and we’re growing older
A
And I think of you, oh we’ve made it through
D A
Some have passed away, some have moved on
Bm A
But I’m still here today (I’m here today)
[Instrumental Break]

No second tries, is this my life?
A
And I think of you
[Chorus]
D A

Bm A
Is this really, my life?
D A
I’m running out of time

Is this really my life? My life
