[A] I thought about [F] it, hell, about a million [D] times,
read, they saw my [G] friends, just to keep [A] it calm.
I have to tell [F] myself, it bears just a [D] grieve,
rolling it in [G] black, only left to do me [A] in.
It's time I close my [F] eyes, I see another [D] strain, it's one I can't [G] forget,
something I cannot forget, [A] I need a second [F] skin,
something to hold me [D] up, can't seem to get out [G] of this hole
I dug myself right [A] back in, _ [F] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[A] _ just awake it [F] tells me,
hell, I must be [D] brave, it's nipping like [G] a drug,
shot into [A] my veins, but it's not able [F] to see
life full of a [G] pain, _ immobilizing me, oh, what's next
if they got [Am] there, well, I need that second [F] skin, something to
hold me [Dm] strong, can't do it on my [G] own, sometimes I need just a little more [A] help,
well, I've got that chance to [F] get up, that's the drop that's left in [Dm] me,
well, I need that second [G] skin, something I cannot forget,

[Am] I just tell [F] myself, girl, just let it [D] breathe,
it's the [G] calmness I'm searching [A] for,
but the dirt it keeps on [F] rubbing, it falls across my [Dm] head,
seeping from under my [G] feet, it just keeps on tearing [A] through, well, I need
a second [F] skin, something to hold me [Dm] up, can't do it on
my [G] own, sometimes I need just a little more [A] help, well, I've got that chance
