Intro: C--D--


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
