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

Interlude -x2-: C F Am G

C               F
I - I - I - I - I've got a migraine
Am                          G
And my pain will range from up, down and sideways
C                           F
Thank God it's Friday 'cause Fridays will always
Am                                 G
Be better than Sundays 'cause Sundays are my suicide days
C                     F
I don't know why they always seem so dismal
Am                          G
Thunderstorms, clouds, snow and a slight drizzle
C                               F
Whether it's the weather or the letters by my bed
Am                                    G
Sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head


C                       F
Let it be said what the headache represents
Am                                        G
It's me defending in suspense, it's me suspended in a defenseless test
C             F
Being tested by a ruthless examinant
Am                 G
That's represented best by my
C             F
Depress...ing thoughts
Am                               G
I do not have writer's block, my writer just hates the clock
C                                      F
It will not let me sleep, I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead
Am                                        G
And sometimes death seams better than the migraine in my head


F        C          G        G   
Am I the only one I know
F          C              G                            G   
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
F            C               G
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
      Dm         C            F7
But I know we've made it this far, kid


C        F        Am        G
                            Yeah yeah yeah!
C        F        Am        G


C                     F
I am not as fine as I seem, pardon
Am                              G
Me for yelling, I'm telling you green gardens
C                            F
Are not what's growing in my psyche, it's a different me
Am                         G      
a difficult beast feasting on burnt down trees
C                                   F
Freeze frame please, let me paint a mental picture portrait
Am                               G
Something you won't forget, it's all about my forehead
C                         F
And how it is a door that holds back contents
Am                                 G
That make Pandora's Box's contents look nonviolent


C                     F
Behind my eyelids are islands of violence
Am                                 G
My mind's shipwrecked, this is the only land my mind could
C                             F
Find, I did not know this was such a violent island
Am                      G
Full of tital waves, suicidal crazed lions
C                               F
They're trying to eat me, blood running down their chin
Am                                   G
And I know that I can fight or I can let the lion win
C                        F
I begin to assemble what weapons I can find
Am                                 G
'Cause sometimes to stay alive you got to kill your mind


F        C          G        G   
Am I the only one I know
F          C              G                            G   
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
F            C               G
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
      Dm         C            F7
But I know we've made it this far, kid


C        F        Am        G
                            Yeah yeah yeah!
C        F        Am        G


C                             F
And I will say that we should take a day to break away
Am                                        G
From all the pain our brain has made, the game is not played alone
C                             F
And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it
Am                                    G
And keep it frozen and know that life has a hopeful undertone


F        C          G        G   
Am I the only one I know
F          C              G                            G   
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
F            C               G
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
      Dm         C            F7
But I know we've made it this far, kid


C        F        Am        G
                            Made it this far
C        F        Am        G
                            Made it this.
