Intro: Ebm B Db

Verse 1:
Ebm
Why does it feel like night today?

Something in here's not right today.
B
Why am I so uptight today?
Db
Paranoia's all I got left
Ebm
I don't know what stressed me first

Or how the pressure was fed
B
But I know just what it feels like
Db
To have a voice in the back of my head

       Ebm
Like a face that I hold inside

A face that awakes when I close my eyes
               B
A face watches every time I lie
            Db
A face that laughs every time I fall
             Ebm
(And watches everything)

Ebm
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
         B
That the face inside is hearing me
Db
Right beneath my skin

Chorus:
              Ebm
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
            B           Db
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
            Ebm
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
              B              Db               Ebm
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

Verse 2:
Ebm
I know I've got a face in me

Points out all my mistakes to me
B
You've got a face on the inside too and
Db
Your paranoia's probably worse
Ebm
I don't know what set me off first

But I know what I can't stand
          B
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
        Db
I can't add up to what you can but

          Ebm
Everybody has a face that they hold inside

A face that awakes when I close my eyes
               B
A face watches every time they lie
            Db
A face that laughs every time they fall
             Ebm
(And watches everything)

Ebm
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
         B
That the face inside is watching you too
Db
Right inside your skin

Chorus:
              Ebm

            Ebm
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
              B              Db               Ebm
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

              Ebm
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
            B           Db
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
            Ebm
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
              B              Db               Ebm
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
