Verse:
  G        Csus2 G    Csus2
I lay down every night
    G       Csus2  G
And I can't get no rest
       Csus2     G        Csus2 G
'Cause it starts spinning in my brain
    Csus2     G        Csus2 G
And then it's pounding in my chest
Csus2        G      Csus2  G
What if I've wasted all my youth?
Csus2        G      Csus2   G
What if I've wasted growing up?
Csus2     G      Csus2    G
What if I wasted my whole life?
Csus2     G         Csus2    G
Oh man, I feel like throwing up

Chrous:
Csus2     G
It's an anxiety attack
     Dm
An anxiety attack
           C
I've got a bad case of the horrors
       C/Bb
And at night it comes back


Verse:
               G         Csus2 G
'Cause first I look back at my week
    Csus2  G         Csus2 G
And then I look back at my year
    Csus2    G    Csus2   G
And then I'm terrified to speak
    Csus2    G   Csus2      G
And then I'm paralyzed with fear
Csus2   G       Csus2   G
And I'm tossing and I'm turning
Csus2   G      Csus2     G
And I'm going 'round the bend
Csus2     G       Csus2  G
And all I see are all my failings
Csus2    G       Csus2   G
Downward spirals without end


Chorus:
Csus2     G
And I see horror in the future
          Dm
And I see horror in the past
         C            C/Bb
And it's 4am and 5am, 6am at last


Verse:
            G    Csus2 G          Csus2
'Cause what if I never feel grown up
    G      Csus2 G   Csus2
And die in a car accident?
    G       Csus2   G
And what if I go crazy
Csus2    G       Csus2     G    Csus2
And what if this time it's permanent?
    G       Csus2  G
And what if I go broke
Csus2       G         Csus2   G
And have to move back with my parents?
Csus2    G       Csus2 G
And then what if I get cancer
Csus2 G         Csus2  G
And I ain't got no insurance?


Chorus:
       G
All my days are moving faster
         Dm
And it's making me feel dizzy
C
How come I get nothing done
    C/Bb
But always feel so busy?


Verse:
      G       Csus2   G
And I used to feel so smart
    Csus2   G       Csus2   G
You know, I used to feel so strong
Csus2         G        Csus2  G
But this just can't be how to live
Csus2     G     Csus2     G
I must be doing something wrong
Csus2   G    Csus2   G
Because everything I might do
Csus2      G         Csus2  G
Feels like something else I can't
Csus2     G      Csus2  G
And then another day is gone
Csus2      G          Csus2    G
And I just don't know where it went


Chorus:
Csus2        G
I try not to hang out too much
                 Dm
Try not to watch too much television
          C
But still everything I do
              C/Bb
Just seems to be the wrong decision

      G
And I lay down every night
          Dm
But still I can't get no rest
                 C
'Cause it starts spinning in my brain
              C/Bb
And then it's pounding in my chest

          G
It's an anxiety attack
     Dm
An anxiety attack
           C
I've got a bad case of the horrors
       C/Bb
And at night it comes back
