C (x32010@1)                                     GSometimes (320003@1)I feel like I'm going insane
            Em (022000@1)                                          
Without the numbness or the pain, so intense to feel
DEspecially (xx0232@1)now it added up through the years

C (x32010@1)                                     GMost (320003@1)of the time, I got nothing to say
       Em (022000@1)                                                  CWhen (x32010@1)I do, it's nothing, and nobody's there to listen anyway
C (x32010@1)                                      GI (320003@1)know I'm probably better off this way
       Em (022000@1)              
I just listen to the voices on the TV 'til I'm tired
       DAnd (xx0232@1)my eyes grow heavy, and I fade away
