F
C
C/B (basically just a walkdown)
C F
I became accoustomed to a kind of social servitude
C F
and no-one, I mean no-one, could accept what I have become
C
Selfish, bitter, weak
F
Enough to make you sick
C F
And lately, I've been feeling, there are bits of life I'm stealing
C (C/B) F
Get me home
Verse 2
At times it seems I will not help
but it's just that I must save myself
From fear that blankets me like mist
on an optimist who insists
it's the simple things that crush
and im crying far too much
so much so that i'm thinking
my control on life is shrinking
(Chorus)
C
there's a light on in my head
F
and i'm thinking what i said
C
All the freedom in my brain
F C (C/B) F x4
I'm alright now, i'm just thinking what to say
Verse 3
Sorry dosen't seem to wash
when there's truths around that I have quashed
and no-one, I mean no-one, can depress me more than I can
So does that make me weak, or should that make me sick
but lately, i've been feeling, that i'm gonna give up breathing
Chorus 2
There's a light on in my head
and i'm thinking what I said
all the fever in my brain
i'm alright now I can even take the pain
Repeat Chorus 2
No-one can depress me more than I can
