And a Dm, F, A#, A progression in the chorus
(though this gets inverted at times)

[Intro]
*synth
A F G C
[Verse]
A
I can feel the thunder; deep in my bones
G
Just tell me I'm feeling; tell me I'm not alone
A
'til I go under; cause I woke up on my own
G
The silence was deafening; I know I was whole
***distortion***
A
I didn't expect that this would ever happen;
G
But who was I to make that call
A
You should have known right when everything started;
G
But you made a choice in risking it all
F G
But now I'm the one who takes the fall
[Chorus]
Dm A# F A
I'm about to break; and nobody can help me through this
Dm A# F A
'cause I ain't gonna...
Dm F*
'cause everything comes crumbling down;
A# A
doesn't matter if we walk out of this
Dm F* G*
I'm about to break; I'm afraid that this is how it ends
[Verse 2]
A F
I can feel the lightning; under my skin;
G D
Send me one other situation I'm in
A F
I find it frightning; like the more I pretend;
G D
Something I'm after; the more that I fit in
A F
Should have known you would end up a liar;
G D
But who was I to make that call?
A F
I didn't expect me to play with the fire;
G D
I made a choice and risked it all
F G
But now I'm the one who takes the fall
[Chorus]
Dm A# F A
I'm about to break; and nobody can help me through this
Dm A# F A
'cause I ain't gonna...
Dm F*
'cause everything comes crumbling down;
A# A
doesn't matter if we walk out of this
Dm F* G*
I'm about to break; I'm afraid that this is how it ends
[Bridge]
A# Dm C
Maybe...
F A
So just leave me alone
A# Dm C
Maybe...
F A
So just leave me alone
A# Dm C
[pause]
F A
I'm about to...
[Chorus/outro]
[quiet]
Dm A# F A
break; and nobody can help me through this
Dm A# F A
'cause I ain't gonna...
***distortion***
Dm F*
'cause everything comes crumbling down;
A# A
doesn't matter if we walk out of this
Dm F* G*
I'm about to break; I'm afraid that this is how ...
Dm A# F A
I'm about to break; and nobody can help me through this
Dm A# F A
'cause I ain't gonna...
Dm F*
'cause everything comes crumbling down;
A# A
doesn't matter if we walk out of this
Dm F* G*
I'm about to break; I'm afraid that this is how it ends
