Am Em E
F G Am E
F G Am E
Who am I trying to fool as the night falls upon me?

and who am I trying to be when this leads to nothing?

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?

I need some medication
Am E
I need your medication

These choices I've been making

They make me hate myself
F G Am
Don't make the call

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.
