Intro:
Am C F
Am C F
Verse:
Am C
Sometimes I think about who I should believe
F
The people who are dead or the people who are free
Am C
Sometimes I hear them as they whisper to me
F
I try to stay awake so I won't die in my sleep
Am C
And I was quick to take a second look through
F
The window on the door of the operating room
Am C
And the adrenaline, it threw my eyes
F
To the table on the floor where the patients lie
Am C
I saw his face and I could not speak
F
As the anesthetic kissed his cheek
Am C
I felt my lips go cold and my limbs go weak
F Am C F
Because the body on the table where the patients die was me
Am C F
It was me
Chorus:
Am G F
Give me back my oxygen mask ('Cause I don't want to)
Am Em F
Feel the walls of my heart collapse (So put me under)
Am G F
I would sooner die on this table (Than face what)
Am Em F
Causes me to be so unstable
Verse:
Am C
There was a lie between my demons and me
F
And a body made of paper in the passenger seat
Am C
As I opened my eyes, I could not see
F*
I felt the stitches come loose and the blood run free
Am C
And as my thoughts began to shake
F
I felt the hand of the darkness kiss my face
Am C
And then the devil woke up and he grabbed my throat
F
He pulled me down to the place where the silence grows
Am C
He looked at me with hollow eyes
F
And he whispered my name as the flowers died
Am C
I felt my heart go cold as I sank between
F Am C F
The ocean I am and the river I'm meant to be
Am C F
I'm meant to be
Chorus:
Am G F
Give me back my oxygen mask ('Cause I don't want to)
Am Em F
Feel the walls of my heart collapse (So put me under)
Am G F
I would sooner die on this table (Than face what)
Am Em F
Causes me to be so unstable
Am Em F
Causes me to be so unstable
Am Em F
Causes me to be so unstable
Bridge:
C Am
Now I'm standing by the window on a Sunday
Dm F G
And I can't quite recall Why I cannot move at all
C Am
And I feel so tired and wounded Like the stitches on my
Dm F G
Soul came apart I'm standing here in the dark
C Am
Well, maybe it's from the drinks we had last night, but good god,
Dm F G
I love those friends of mine, the best that alcohol can buy
C Am
Or maybe it's from the lack of sleep, but all those secrets I've kept
Dm
Trying to be so sweet to you, it's dark, my dear
F G
But it got me through, it got me through
Chorus:
Am G F
Give me back my oxygen mask ('Cause I don't want to)
Am G F
Feel the walls of my heart collapse (So put me under)
Am G F
I would sooner die on this table (Than face what)
Am G F
Causes me to be so unstable]
Outro:
Am C
Sometimes I wonder if I'm only a ghost
F
Wearing human skin I never chose
Am C
I listen to the devil as he spoke
F
Because he tempted me with a beautiful rose
