CAPO ON 4

C5                             F5             C5
Sometimes in the morning i am petrified and can't move
F5                C5       G5
Awake but cannot open my eyes
        C5                             F5                    C5
And the weight is crushing down on my lungs i know i can't breath
    F5                 C5            G5
And hope someone will help me this time
     C5                          F5          C5
Your mother's still calling you insane and high
F5             C5              G5
Swearing it's different this time
        C5                          F5           C5
And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her
         F5        C5           G5
And that god ever blessed her insides
         C5                          F5         C5
Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting things
    F5               C5            G5
And crawl back into bed to dream of a time
          C5                             F5                 C5
When your heart was open wide and you loved things just because
         F5            C5      G5
Like the sick and the dying

    C5                             F5               C5
And sometimes when you're on you're really fucking on
         F5                 C5              G5
And your friends they sing along and they love you
        C5                            F5                  C5
But the lows are so extreme that the good seems fucking cheap
       F5              C5            G5
And it teases you for weeks in its absense
           C5                  
But you'll fight and you'll make it through
       F5              C5
You'll fake it if you have to
           F5           C5           G5
And you'll show up for work with a smile
                 C5
And you'll be be better you'll be smarter
           F5               C5
More grown up and a better daughter
   F5         C5         G5
Or son and a real good friend
              C5
And you'll be awake and you'll be alert
          F5                  C5
You'll be positive though it hurts
           F5          C5              G5
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
                C5
And you'll be a real good listener
          F5                C5
You'll be honest you'll be brave
          F5                  C5
You'll be handsome you'll be beautiful
          G5
You'll be happy


same chords persist throughout the solo

     C5
Your ship may be coming in
       F5                   C5
You're weak but not giving in
       F5             C5            G5 
To the cries and the wails of the valley below
     C5
Your ship may be coming in
       F5                   C5
You're weak but not giving in
           F5                  C5            G5
And you'll fight it you'll go out fighting all of them
