VERSE 2:
E5
With blankets wrapped around so tight
G#5
That in my dreams my hands are tied
C#5             A5
Now I'm slow-mo running for the door
E5                               G#5
I've got no clue where it leads, but my lungs need some air to breathe
C#5                A5
My eyelids shutter then fall to the floor
