• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: A

🎸 Intro:

A  D A  D A  D A
D




🎸 Verse 1:
A
All of us we're always trying to catch up
A
Call just to let me know what you think
A

How is this never quite enough
A
Lost and always trying to get back, can we get back?


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
F#m     A       G      A
Oh, call the doctor and the doctor came in
      F#m      A            G       A
She said, "Where does it hurt? You know there's a pill for most everything"
F#m    A          G       A
Close your eyes, open wide, and we'll make you smile again
F#m      A          G        A  E
Some people believe in ghosts and some believe in aliens
E                      A
Just wish I could crawl out of the skin I'm living in
        D  A      Bm
Crawl out of my mind into the outside
 A        E
Nobody could reach me


🎸 Chorus:
                         A
If you could crawl out of the skin you're living in
        D     A     Bm
Like some kinda love just opened you up
A         E
You know when you feel it
G       A   D A  D A D
It's the only thing


🎸 Verse 2:
G A
Oh, don't you feel like you're trying to catch up
A
Fear makes you jump a little too quick
A
Time, do we know when it's too late
A
Always trying to get it back, trying to get it back


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
  F#m   A          G     A
But remember all the things that used to be real
F#m    A              G          A
Things to help you believe 'cause you wanna make sense of everything
F#m       A              G         A
Then there's the first time you crack and you think, "Everyone's laughing at me"
F#m  A              G      A
All at once, you're a ghost, you're some kind of alien


🎸 Chorus:
E                         A
Just wish I could crawl out of the skin I'm living in
        D  A      Bm
Crawl out of my mind into the outside
 A      E
I just want to feel it
                         A
If you could crawl out of the skin you're living in
        D    A    Bm
Find some kinda love to open you up
  A       Em
You know when you feel it
G       A
It's the only thing

Out of my mind into the outside

Nobody could reach me

If you could crawl out of the skin you're living in
