[Verse 1]
C C
Another evening spent
F C
In the corners of my brain
Am G F C
Where I wander off into the dark
C C
And I close my eyes and hope
F C
The wolves won't follow me
C C
But hope's hard of hearing
F C
So I'm waiting for the teeth
[Chorus 1]
Am G
I had to learn that the helping hands
F C
Can be the same that holds the knife
Am
I know I'm not well
G F C
But I'm alright
Am G
You gotta learn how to take your hits
F C
When your hands are always tired
Am
I know I'm not well
G F C
But I'm alright
[Verse 2]
C C
I memorize the ceiling
F C
With a fire at my feet
Am G F C
While I give myself advice that I can't keep
C C
I no longer ask myself
F C
What any of this means
Am G
I just want my mind to quit
F C
So I can finally fall asleep
Am G
Yeah I'm just waiting for my mind to quit
F C
So I can finally fall asleep
[Chorus 2]
Am G
I kept falling for the broken wing
F C
Because I couldn't pick a fight
Am G F C
But don't believe 'em when they tell ya that the bird won't bite
Am G
I can't tell you if it got this way
F C
Or if it started as a lie
Am
I know I'm not well
G F C
But I'm alright
Am G
I kept falling for the broken wing
F C
Because I couldn't pick a fight
Am G F C
But don't believe 'em when they tell ya that the bird won't
Am G
I had to learn that the helping hand
F C
Can be the same that holds the knife
Am
I know I'm not well
G F C
But I'm alright
Am
I know I'm not well
G F C
But I'm alright
