C	A 
I lose my hold as all the pieces start to unfold and now i see where this started 
to get away from me. 
C	                     A 
Around my neck, pressure holds its grip so tightly, and i regret everything that i said. 
C 
But it feels alright, i might as well be dead 
A 
I do this every night, you can’t understand how hard it is to be in bad business. 
C 
But it feels alright, i might as well be dead 
	A 
I do this every night and you can’t understand, i’m twisted inside, I can't explain why. 

Gm                     A7                        C7                        A7           Gm 
Let go and then i lose control and i’m falling faster than i’d really like. 
Gm                           A7                           C7                   A7               Gm 
Down i go, further, out of control but it makes no sense to give up at this height 
C7                            A7              Gm 
I just need a sign to tell me i’m alright. 

C	                   A 
Locked in the waiting room and my time is coming soon 
A 
There's no more life in me, i'm tied to catastrophe.

But it feels alright, i might as well be dead
