verse 1 
C                          D                                      
I've been searching for an exit 
                       Em 
But I'm lost inside my head;  
C                          D             
Where I spend every waking moment  
              Em 
wishing I was dead.  
C           Am                     Em 
For a few minutes get me away from here 
C           Am                  Em   D 
For a few minutes wipe away my tears.  

Pre-Chorus 
         C 
For I am lost right now as the ocean deep;  
     Am 
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink.  
          Em 
Yeah I am lost right now as the ocean deep;  
     D 
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink. 

C                               Am 
It's like there's cancer in my blood 
                                Em 
It's like there's water in my lungs 
                             D 
And I can't take another step 
                           C 
Please tell me I am not undone. 
                              Am 
It's like there's fire in my skin 
                           Em 
And I'm drowning from within 
                         D 
I can't take another breath 
                           C 
Please tell me I am not undone. 

verse 2 
C                          D                                      
I've been searching for an exit 
                       Em 
But I'm lost inside my head;  
C                          D             
Where I spend every waking moment  
                   Em 
wishing this would end. 
C                    D 
I can't take another step,  
                        Em 
I cannot live inside my mind, 
                     D                           C 
I can't face another day, I am so fucking tired.

I've been searching for an exit
