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
