Verse 1:
D#m
All of my demons at war
G#m                            B
Heavy the weight of their sores
D#m
I have a voice in my head sayin'
G#m                                      B
"I'll be fine" but he's been wrong before
           D#m
Under that weight in my heart
 G#m
Feelin' too tired to start
B        D#m
My inner voice is afraid
G#m
But I can't let that fear drive

B       D#m
Ooooo, ooooooo

G#m
With the stakes this high it's a hell of a fall

B       D#m
Ooooo, ooooooo

G#m
When I'm worried I know who to call

Chorus:
E                 C#m
Call in the cavalry
G#m
The heavyweights
                                  E
When I'm not sure about my getaway
C#m                  F#m
I'm not afraid to call
B                   E
Back-up is on the way
                  C#m
To fight the enemy
     G#m
The fear in me
                                    E
When I'm not sure about most anything
C#m                 F#m
I'm not afraid to call
B        D#m       G#m

Verse 2:

B         D#m
Spinnin' like merry-go-rounds
G#m
Feelin' more safe upside-down
        B                D#m
See, it gets to be hard when I allow for
G#m
Anyone to change my mind
B    D#m
(Ooh)
G#m
With the stakes this high it's a hell of a fall
B     D#m
(Ooh)
