chord intro A , Em , F , Dm

verse 1

A Em F
are you afraid , afraid of the truth
Dm
in the mirror staring back at you
A Em F Dm
the image is cracked but so is the view , yeah
A Em F
and the strength of a tree begins in the roots
Dm
that i tend bury into you
A Em F Dm
at least now the storm can’t blow me away

refrain

F G A
so crawl inside
Em F
my head with me
Dm A
i’ll show you how
Em F Dm
it feels to be to blame like me

second verse , same as the first! ( chord wise anyways . . . )

should i be afraid of this face that i see
in the mirror staring back at me?
so cold were the days when i listened to you
and you say that i’m weak , so show me the proof
because i still exist in spite of you
but i won’t compete with you every day

refrain

F G A
so crawl inside
Em F
my head with me
Dm A
i’ll show you how
Em F Dm C5 – E5 B5 – D5
it feels to be to blame like me

to bridge

A F
schizophrenic conversations that
G C5
i’m always having with myself
E5 B5 D5 A
i hear these voices in my head repeating
F G C5
maybe i could use a little help
E5 B5 D5 A
i still have schizophrenic conversations
F G C5
where there’s no one else around to hear
E5 B5 D5 A
i long for solitude and peace within me
F G F
void of all the anger and the fear

G A
so crawl inside
Em F
my head with me ,
Dm
i’ll show you how it feels to be
A Em F
fxxked up like me ,
Dm
i’ll show you how it feels to be
A Em F
to blame like me ,
Dm A
ashamed like me
