Tuning: E A D G B E Intro: G D/F# Em A D G D/F# Em D A Verse 1: D Em Birds in my head try to take control G G D/F# Must be some kind of virus Em D A Memory I can't reset D Em Future's bright with the past behind G G D/F# But I'm stuck in this strange station Em D A Dampening the years I can't get back
Chorus: G Em Oh, I can't seem to fight it D Or try to hide it A The state I'm in G Em Someone's out to get me D Not protect me A She always wins Em A D G D/F# Mama left me her old suitcase Em D A It was tethered to her heartbreak Verse 2: D Em Tears rolled down with her last breath G G D/F# There goes my Goliath Em D A Who's gonna take on all the blame? D Em I can't let go if I can't move on G G D/F# It's strange, these guilty feelings Em D A Her disapproval made me say Chorus: G D/F# Em Oh, I can't seem to fight it D Or try to hide it A The state I'm in G D/F# Em Someone's out to get me D Not protect me A She always wins Bridge: Bm A I never knew the morning sun C G 'Cause you kept your sky so grey C G And the victim you portrayed D Never wanted to leave D Em Who am I if I'm not in pain? G G D/F# I feel like such a coward Em D A Don't even know if this is mine Chorus: G Em Oh, I can't seem to fight it D Or try to hide it A The state I'm in G Em Someone's out to get me D Not protect me A She always wins Outro: Em A D Mama left me her old suitcase G D/F# Em And all the guilt you left inside D A It was tethered to her heartbreak A Right through the heart of mine Em A D Mama left me her old suitcase G D/F# Em Never wanted to say goodbye D A It was filled with all her weight
