I. Someone Like Him
(Fm C#m Fm C#m)
Fm C#m Fm G#m Eb
I never wanted to become someone like him, so secure
G#m Cm D
Content to live each day just like the last
Bm7(5-)
I was sure I knew that
A C#m D9
This was not for me
A C#m C
And I wanted so much more

Far beyond what I could see

So I swore that I'd

Never be someone like him

My mission

My aim

A doctor sitting next to me

Can't you stop what's happening

A higher dosage he prescribes

I tell him not to be ashamed

There's no one who's to blame

A second shot
A brief awakening

I feel the relapse
A
Can't break free
F
Eyes open

But not getting through to me

Medicate me

As my conscience slips away
