B                    G#m 
When England took my mother's youngest son, 
B                F# 
She demanded him back. She said, 
               B      E 
"Don't make me worry, son. 
               G#m     F# 
This isn't the time to run. 
              B    E 
You're always thinking 
          G#m        F# 
Until the thinking's done." 

E              B                   G#m 
Talking myself down gets so hard. 
F#            E             B          G#m 
All I know is I don't wanna die in my car. 
        F#            E 
I can't get out of my head, 
     G               B      G#m     B     G#m 
Just like it's always been. 

*pause* 

B                  G#m 
He's in the mirror staring back at me, 
B                   F# 
Smiling through his worn down teeth. 
                 B       E 
I tell him, "You make me sick, 
                    G#m     F# 
And the bullshit is getting thick." 
                  B       E 
And sometimes the hardest part 
                G#m      F# 
Is just getting on with it. 


E              B                   G#m 
Talking myself down gets so hard. 
F#            E             B          G#m 
All I know is I don't wanna die in my car. 
        F#            E 
I can't get out of my head, 
     G                
Just like it's always been.

Talking myself down gets so hard. 
F#            E             B          F# 
All I know is I don't wanna die in my car. 
E                 B              G#m        F# 
The war inside my head keeps raging, 
E                 B              F# 
And somehow the world keeps turning. 
E                 B              G#m        F# 
Yeah somehow the world keeps turning. 
E                 B              F# 
Yeah somehow the world keeps turning.
