Verse 1:
Dm                 Bb
They can’t see the fear
   Gm7       C
Behind these eyes
      Dm                Bb
That flashing white hot anger
       Gm7     C
When I lose my mind
        Dm         Bb
Cause I just put a smile on
    Gm7  C        Dm Bb C7 A
For everyone to see
Dm               Bb
The voices in my head
    Gm7     C
Are getting loud
Dm                Bb
They’ve become my company
     Gm7    C       Dm Bb C A
When no one is around

Pre-Chorus:
Dm      Bb
I’m not perfect
    C        Am7
I’m broken inside
Dm         Bb
Everything I’ve done
        Gm7         A7
Catches up to me at night
    Dm          Bb
And I can laugh all I want
    Gm7          C
But I can’t ever erase
    Bb        C
The lies, the mistakes
    Bb            C
The hurt it won’t fade
Dm          Bb
I can’t get rid of that
Amin     Amaj
Timebomb in my head

Chorus:

Verse 2:
    Dm               Bb
I’m running down the roads
Gm7        C
Through my mind
  Dm                Bb
There’s no place of safety
     Gm7   C
That I can find
  Dm               Bb
I can’t escape the secrets
        Gm7      C          Dm Bb C7 A
And the darkness that’s inside

Dm                 Bb
Life just moves so fast
    Gm7     C
I’m falling down
Dm          Bb
Nobody will hear me
         Gm7    C           Dm Bb C A
Till I’m buried in the ground

Pre-Chorus:
Dm      Bb
I’m not perfect
    C        Am7
I’m broken inside
Dm         Bb
Everything I’ve done
        Gm7         A7
Catches up to me at night
    Dm          Bb
And I can laugh all I want
    Gm7          C
But I can’t ever erase
    Bb        C
The lies, the mistakes
    Bb            C
The hurt it won’t fade
Dm          Bb
I can’t get rid of that
Gm7 Am7  Bb C
Timebomb in my head
