Bottom Of The Pit

(from "In Sound Mind" soundtrack)

Capo: 2nd fret

[Verse 1]
Em
I'm a little bit anxious
N.C.
I'm a little unsure of where to go
N.C.
I'm a little kid swallowed by the shadows
N.C.
In the ocean and I know
N.C.
It's a little bit daunting
N.C.
It's a little bit scary when I'm alone
N.C.
It's a little bit dark outside
 
[Pre-chorus]
                                   G
When I'm uptight I call you on the phone
        D              C           Am
When we hang up I stay awake for a while
                              G          Bm
Wondering, if what you say is true, I am flawed but fixable
Em                 G         D             C
When I manage some shut-eye, oh, for all I know I might
   Am                                 G            Bm
Be slumbering, although I'd rather be dead on your couch
 
[Chorus]
Em         D
In my bed, in my head
          G              Am
There's a light but it's red
      Em                 D
And I wander till waters bend around me
    G          Bm        Em
And surround me until I quit
             D
What's this shining
       G              Bm
At the far end of the road?
       Em                       C
Oh, I admit, I'd rather see the dark end of a
G               Bm            Em
Tunnel than the bottom of the pit
 
[Verse 2]
Em
All I'm doing is aiding
N.C.
All I offer to give is a helping hand
N.C.
But I cannot see but two feet in front of me
N.C.
So try to understand
N.C.
If you're caught in a doorway
N.C.
And a fire is nipping at your hell
N.C.
If you're stuck on a sinking ship
N.C.
Enjoy your trip and pray it isn't real
N.C.
 
[Pre-chorus]
G               D           C             Am
When I wake up I find that I'm hungry for more
                       G            Bm          Em
Unsatisfied, oh, God I'm blue, but it will all be alright
Em                   G     C         G
If it wasn't for all these uninvited visitors
Am           D                G         Bm
Outside, I'd say I'm having a damn good night
 
[Chorus]
Em         D
In my bed, in my head
          G              Am
There's a light but it's red
      Em                 D
And I wander till waters bend around me
    G          Bm        Em
And surround me until I quit
             D
What's this shining
       G              Bm
At the far end of the road?
       Em                       C
Oh, I admit, I'd rather see the dark end of a
G               Bm            Em
Tunnel than the bottom of the pit
 
[Verse 3]
Em
I'm in need of a captain
N.C.
And I wish you were that for me today
N.C.
I'm in need of a wax and feather
N.C.
Set of wings and then I'll be okay
N.C.
As long as I take off
N.C.
When the sun can't burn away by dream
N.C.
Don't know I'll be back this way
N.C.
Perhaps someday, don't wait
 
[Chorus]
Em         D
In my bed, in my head
          G              Am
There's a light but it's red
      Em                 D
And I wander till waters bend around me
    G          Bm        Em
And surround me until I quit
             D
What's this shining
       G              Bm
At the far end of the road?
       Em                       C
Oh, I admit, I'd rather see the dark end of a
G               Bm            Em
Tunnel than the bottom of the pit
