Verse 1:

            Bm7
Take off my clothes
         Ebm7    F#m7
Get into bed
          Bm7                             Ebm7
I hit the pillow, let persistent thoughts begin
                F#m7
(On the night ahead)
Bm7                     Ebm7
I haven't slept well in weeks
                      B
I don't know how to fix this
           Ebm7
Or if I'll ever know true peace

Chorus:
               Bm7
I hope for the best
        Bm7
I need rest

           Ebm7                C#
I feel the weight press on my chest
        Bm7
Open my eyes
        Bm7
Take a breath
         Ebm7             F#m7
I know exactly what comes next

                Bm7
I can't move my legs
             Bm7
Can't move at all
        Ebm7           C#
Shadows creep along my wall
                     Bm7
And I just want them gone
              Ebm7     F#m7
What did I do wrong
      Bm7
To deserve this?


Verse 2:

              Ebm     F#
Now I can't refrain
            Bm7                                Ebm            F#m7           Bm7
From any attempt to scream cause every signal coming from my brain is in my vain
             Ebm     F#
And it's not fair
       Bm7                        Ebm7
Every figure looming over me has locked me in its stare


Bridge:

Bm7
Breathe
     Ebm7          C#
Calm down and give in
  B
I hope that it's all over soon
  Ebm               F#
I hope you find the end and
Bm7
Relax
       Ebm7             F#/Db
As the voices start to fade
    Bm7
The shadows float away
        Ebm7        F#
And you find your escape

Bm7


Chorus 2:

              Bm7
Whoa sweet release
Rise to my feet
         Ebm7               F#m7
A couple tears roll down my cheek
                  Bm7
I know that I am free
I am free
             Ebm        F#
Even if it's momentarily
           Bm7
Drop to my knees
I am free
          Ebm7       F#/Db
I am free momentarily
                 Bm7
I know that I am free
I am free
             F#        C#
Even if it's momentarily
                 B
I know that I am free
I am free...
