Intro (Chorus):
F C G
Am I the only one I know
F C G
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat.
F C G F E
Shadows will scream that I'm alone, 'lone 'lone.
Am Dm C G (x2)
Verse 1:
Am Dm
I-I-I I've got a migraine.
C G
And my pain will range from up, down, and sideways.
Am Dm
Thank God it's Friday cause Fridays will always be
C G
Better than Sundays, 'cause Sundays are my suicide days.
Am Dm
I don't know why they always seem so dismal.
C G
Thunderstorms, clouds, snow and a slight drizzle.
Am Dm
Whether it's the weather or the letters by my bed
C G
Sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head.
Am Dm
Let it be said what the headache represents
C
It's me defending in suspense
G
It's me suspended in a defenseless
Am Dm
Test being tested by a ruthless examinant
C G Am (hold) Dm
That's represented best by my depressing thoughts.
C G
I do not have writer's block my writer just hates the clock.
Am Dm
It will not let me sleep I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead
C G
And sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head.
Chorus:
F C G G Am
Am I the only one I know

Verse 2:
Am (rest or Dm)
I am not as fine as I seem. Pardon,
C (rest or G)
Me for yelling and telling you green gardens
Am (rest or Dm)
Are not what's growing in my psyche, it's a different me
C (rest or G)
A difficult beast feasting on burnt down trees.
Am Dm
Freeze frame, please let me paint a mental picture portrait.
C G
Something you won't forget, it's all about my forehead
Am Dm
And how it is a door that hold's back contents
C G
That makes Pandora's box contents look non-violent.
Am Dm
Behind my eyelids are islands of violence
C G
My mind ship-wrecked this is the only land my mind could
Am Dm
Find. I did not know it was such a violent island
C G
Full of tidal waves, suicidal crazed lions.
Am Dm
They're trying to eat me, blood running down their chin
C G
And I know that I can fight, or I can let the lion win.
Am Dm
I begin to assemble what weapons I can find
C G
'Cause sometimes to stay alive you gotta kill your mind.
Chorus:
F C G G Am
Am I the only one I know
F C G G Am
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat.
F C G G Am
Shadows will scream that I'm alone.
Dm C F7
But I know, we've made it this far, kid.
C Dm6 Am F7
Yeah yeah yeah (x2)
Bridge:
C Dm6
And I will say that we should take a day to break away
Am F7
From all the pain our brain has made, the game is not played alone.
C Dm6
And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it
Am F7
And keep it frozen and know that life has a hopeful undertone. (x2)
Chorus:

But I know, we've made it this far, kid.

C Dm6 Am F7
Far. Made it this f.
