|Verse I|: E4Sometimes I think about who I A4should believe
The D2people who are dead or the people who are free
E4Sometimes I hear them as they whA4isper to me
I D2try to stay awake so I won't die in my sleep
E4And I was quick to take a A4second look through
The D2window on the door of the operating room
And theE4 adrenaline, it A4threw my eyes
To the D2table on the floor where the patients lie
E4I saw his face and I A4could not speak
As the D2anesthetic kissed his cheek
I felt my E4lips go cold and my limbs A4go weak
Because the D2body on the table where the patients die was E4me (repeat intro tab here if you wish)
E4It was me A4 D2
|Chorus|: E4Give me back my A4oxygen masD2k
Cause I don't want to E4feel the walls of mA4y heart collD2apse
So put me under E4I would sooner A4die on this D2table
Than face what E4causes me to A4be so unstD2able
|Verse II|: E4There was a lie between A4my demons and me
And a D2body made of paper in the passenger seat
As I E4open my eyes, I could A4not see
I felt the D2stitches come loose and the blood run free
E4And as my thoughts began A4to shake
I felt the D2hand of the darkness kiss my face
And then the E4devil woke up and he A4grabbed my throat
He pulled me D2down to the place where the silence grows
E4He looks at me with A4hollow eyes
And he D2whispered my name as the flowers died
I felt my E4heart go cold as I A4sank between
The D2ocean I am and the river I'm meant toE4 be A4 D2
E4I'm meant to bA4e D2
|Repeat Chorus|
|Bridge|: Dsus4Now I'm standing by theDsus4/F# window on a Sunday
And I Em7can't quite recall why IGsus2 cannot move at A7all
And I feel soDsus4/F# tired and wounded
Like the stitches on my Em7soul came apart
I'm standing Gsus2here in the dark A7
Dsus4Well, maybe it's from the drinks we had last night
But Dsus4/F#good god, I love those friends of Em7mine
The best that alcohol can A7buy
Dsus4Or maybe it's from the lack of sleep
But all those Dsus4/F#secrets I've kept, trying to be so sweet to Em7you
It's dark, my dear
But it got me Gsus2through, it got me A7through
|Repeat Chorus|
E4 A4 D2 E4 A4 D2 (hold)
|Refrain|:Causes me to be so unstable, causes me to be so unstable
|Outro|: E4Sometimes I wonder if I'm A4only a ghost
Wearing D2human skin I never chose
E4I listen to the devil A4as he spoke
D2Because he tempted me with a beautiful rose
