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
but your own
I think that it's time to get out
My patients are fading fast
the mind bruises just a little bit easier
in dark times and shadow's cast
What are you suffering for?
Your pride or some kind of personal war?
And will you throw it away?
For nothing more than a simple taste?
[Chorus]
I'll stay in time and watch you pass by (paranoia woven deep beneath my skin)
I draw this line and hope you'll take my side (breathe slow, breathe slow)
You shouldn't have to fight alone (you shouldn't have to fight at all)
It's nobody's battle but your own
Panic holds me like a gun
firm and steadfast bleak and cold
I think it's time to kill the drama
This life style's getting old
*Whispers behind closed doors
eyes spy from dark windows
Plotting minds seek to harm me,
or maybe not, I don't really know
There is something
Waiting for me
in the darkest part of my imagination
[Chorus]
I'll stay in time and watch you pass by (paranoia woven deep beneath my skin)
I draw this line and hope you'll take my side (breathe slow, breathe slow)
You shouldn't have to fight alone (you shouldn't have to fight at all)
It's nobody's battle but your own
This is just self-induced terror
There's more to come, this is just a glimpse
I tell myself it's all in my head
but I'm pretty hard to convince
Oh, there's no relief
Oh, this world can offer
Oh, there's no relief
Oh, this world can offer me
I'll stay in time and watch you pass by
I draw this line and hope you'll take my side
You shouldn't have to fight alone
It's nobody's battle but your own
