Verse 1:
BB
Well I'm caught in the distance
BB
Did I die in my sleep
E MajorE
Did I finish my sentence
E MajorE
Or was I grinding my teeth
BB
Can I hold on forever
BB
With anxiety dialed
E MajorE
Dialed up to the doorway
E MajorE
Can I doctor a smile
Chorus:
BB
Lost in the distance
A augmentedA E MajorE
It's a mask I wear so well
BB
Thousand yard stare
A augmentedA E MajorE
But it's my mind crawling through hell
G+G E MajorE BB
Another day goes by that ain't mine
G+G E MajorE BB
Another day passing me by
G+G E MajorE
Caught in a loop
A augmentedA
I ain't here to bide my time

Verse 2:
BB
I ain't lost in the system
BB
I ain't biting my tongue
E MajorE
It ain't stuck in my throat
E MajorE
With anything I've done
BB
I've been playing so nicely
BB
Trying to sleep through the night
E MajorE
And I won't live forever
E MajorE
Just by closing my eyes
Chorus:
BB
Caught in the distance
A augmentedA E MajorE
It's a mask I wear so well
BB
Thousand yard stare
A augmentedA E MajorE
But it's my mind crawling through hell
G+G E MajorE BB
Another day goes by that ain't mine
G+G E MajorE BB
Another day passing me by
G+G E MajorE
Caught in a loop
A augmentedA
But I ain't here to bide my time
Bridge:
G+G E MajorE
And I can't take my finger
BB
Off the pulse of the night
G+G E MajorE
It's the realization
BB
I can't adjust to the light
G+G E MajorE
I could never tread lightly
BB
Could hardly breathe
G+G E MajorE
It was killing me slowly
BB
It used to be the morphine
G+G E MajorE BB
Another day goes by that ain't mine
G+G E MajorE BB
Another day passing me by
G+G E MajorE
Caught in a loop
A augmentedA
But I ain't here to bide my time
Verse 3:
BB
Well we don't live forever
BB
Try to sleep through the night
E MajorE
Does it ever get better
E MajorE
Just by closing my eyes
BB
There's no absolute quiet
BB
It's a darkness alright
E MajorE
It's the realization
E MajorE
I can't adjust to the light
Chorus:
BB
Caught in the distance
A augmentedA E MajorE
It's a mask I wear so well
BB
Thousand yard stare
A augmentedA E MajorE
But it's my mind crawling through hell
G+G E MajorE BB
Another day goes by that ain't mine
G+G E MajorE BB
Another day passing me by
G+G E MajorE
