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
