[A] I am petified and [E] can't move, [A] awake but cannot [E] open my [B]
eyes.
And [E] the weight is crushing down on [A] my lungs.
I know [E] I can't breathe and [A] hope someone [E] will save me this [B] time.
And [E] your mother's still calling [A] you insane [E] and I [A] swear in [E] its [B]
name.
[E] And you tell her to give in to [A] the demons
[E] that possessed her and [A] that God [E] never blessed her [B] in sight.
Then [E] you hang up the phone and [A] feel badly [E] for upsetting [A] things.
Crawl back [E] into bed to [B] dream of a time [E] when your heart was in pain.
And [Am] you loved things [E] just because, [Am] like the snake and [E] the giant.
[B] And [E] sometimes when you're on, [A] you're really [E] fucking on.
[A] And your friends be [E] singing along and [B] they love you.
But [E] the lows are so extreme [A] that the good things [E] fucking cheap.
[A] And it's easy [E] to do for weeks and [B] it's [E] absinthe.
[B] [Abm] But [E] you'll find and you'll make it through.
[A] You'll fake it [E] if you have to.
[A] And you'll show up [E] for work with [B] a smile.
And you'll be [E] better and you'll be smarter.
And [A] more grown up and a [E] better daughter.
[A] For a son [E] and a real good [B] cause.
And you'll [E] be awake, you'll be alert.
You'll be [A] positive [E] though it hurts.
[A] And you'll laugh and [E] break all [B] your friends.
You'll [E] be a real good listener.
You'll [A] be honest, [E] you'll be brave.
[A] You'll be handsome [E] and you'll be [B] you.
[E] You'll be you.

Maybe coming in, [A] you're weak but not [E] giving in.
[A] To the cries and [E] the wails of [B] your valley below.
[E] Any ship may be coming in, [A] you're weak but not [E] giving in.
[A] And you'll fight it, [E] you'll go out fighting it.
