[VERSE]
Am Em Am Em F C/E C
All wound up, on the edge, terrified

Sleep disturbed, restless mind, petrified

Bouts of fear, permeate, all I see

Heightening, nervousness, threatens me

I am paralyzed

So afraid to die
Am Em Am Em F C/E G
Caught off guard, warning signs, never show
Am Em Am Em Am Em Am
Tension strikes, choking me, worries grow.
