C D G 
I wake up and right away I know  
Em C D 
The minute I turn on my bedroom radio  
C D G 
The music is a Lady Gaga song  
C Em 
But there's a hissing in my ears  
D G 
Something's wrong  

C D G 
I put on some pants turn on a little light  
Em C D 
I keep the curtains closed outside it's just too bright  
C D G 
On my way to the bathroom I hit the wall  
C Em 
When I look into the mirror  
D G 
I see nothing at all 

C G D G 
I'm going crazy the pressure gets to me  
C G Em D 
Between my shoulders on top of my body  
C D G C 
There's a great big hole a mystery  
Em D G 
There's a hole where my head used to be 

C D G 
In the dark I finally reach the sink  
Em C D 
I grab the faucet hold my breath and try to think  
C D G 
The water doesn't end up on my skin 
C Em D G  
Right there is when I grasp the giant mess I'm in  

C D G 
It seems as if my body's closing down 
C Em D  
I lose my balance and my toothbrush hits the ground  
C D G 
I don't even recognize my face  
C G 
When I was young my mind was clear  
D G 
How I miss those days 

C D G 
On all fours I crawl back to bed  
Em C D 
Try to remember how many of those days I've had  
C D G 
I just need sleep so I try to improvise  
C Em D G 
But when your head is gone, it's hard to close your eyes
