F       G           Am          E 
 Who am I trying to fool as the night falls upon me? 
F           G           Am           E 
 and who am I trying to be when this leads to nothing? 
  F             G 
I need some medication 
  Am            E 
I need your medication 
      F                 G 
These choices I've been making 
     Am             E 
They make me hate myself 

Dm      C 
Are you there? 
Am            G 
How I long to be with you 
Dm      C 
Are you there, 
Am           G 
listening to my despair? 

Dm                     C 
Standing right at the shore 
Am              G 
Knowing life is so much more 
  Dm                      C 
I said what she wanted to hear 
  Am               G 
pretending that my mind was clear, 
         F  G  Am  E 
it's a lie 

F        G             Am          E 
 How you wept, how you tried but I never make the time 
F        G        Am              E 
 Here I go once again, will this ever end? 
  F             G 
I need some medication 
  Am            E 
I need your medication 
      F                 G 
These choices I've been making 
     Am             E 
They make me hate myself 

                   F   G   Am 
Don't make the call 
            F G 
Into the room   
            Am 
is where I fall 

Dm                     C 
Standing right at the shore 
Am              G 
Knowing life is so much more 
  Dm                      C 
I said what she wanted to hear 
  Am               G 
pretending that my mind was clear 
Dm     C         Am                  G 
Lying, trying to stop this time, I'll stop this time 
Dm                     C 
One step backward, I'm chasing after 
  Am              G 
A voice inside, a voice inside 
     F  G  Am E 
That knows 
     F  G  Am 
That knows.
