G5                             C5             G5
Sometimes in the morning i am petrified and can't move
C5                G5       D5
Awake but cannot open my eyes
        G5                             C5                    G5
And the weight is crushing down on my lungs i know i can't breath
    C5                 G5            D5
And hope someone will help me this time
     G5                          C5          G5
Your mother's still calling you insane and high
C5             G5              D5
Swearing it's different this time
        G5                          C5           G5
And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her
         C5        G5           D5
And that god ever blessed her insides
         G5                          C5         G5
Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting things
    C5               G5            D5
And crawl back into bed to dream of a time
          G5              C5            G5                 C5
When your heart was open wide and you loved things just because
         G5            D5
Like the sick and the dying

    G5                              C5               G5
And sometimes when you're on you're really fucking on
         C5                 G5              D5
And your friends they sing along and they love you
        G5                            C5                  G5
But the lows are so extreme that the good seems fucking cheap
       C5              G5            D5
And it teases you for weeks in its absense
           G5                  
But you'll fight and you'll make it through
       C5              G5
You'll fake it if you have to
           C5           G5           D5
And you'll show up for work with a smile
                 G5
And you'll be be better you'll be smarter
           C5               G5
More grown up and a better daughter
   C5         G5         D5
Or son and a real good friend
              G5
And you'll be awake and you'll be alert
          C5                  G5
You'll be positive though it hurts
           C5          G5               D5
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
                G5
And you'll be a real good listener
          C5                G5
You'll be honest you'll be brave
          C5                  G5
You'll be handsome you'll be beautiful
          D5
You'll be happy

     G5
Your ship may be coming in
       C5                   G5
You're weak but not giving in
       C5             G5            D5 
To the cries and the wails of the valley below
     G5
Your ship may be coming in
       C5                   G5
You're weak but not giving in
           C5                  G5            D5
And you'll fight it you'll go out fighting all of them
