very easy |||||
 C                                                         F                         C 
Sometimes in the morning i am petrified and can't move
 F                               C             G 
Awake but cannot open my eyes
                 C                                                         F                                       C 
And the weight is crushing down on my lungs I know I can't breath
         F                                 C                       G 
And hope someone will help me this time
           C                                                   F                   C 
Your mother's still calling you insane and high
 F                         C                           G 
Swearing it's different this time
                 C                                                   F                     C 
And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her
                   F               C                     G 
And that god ever blessed her insides
                   C                                                   F                 C 
Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting things
         F                             C                       G 
And crawl back into bed to dream of a time
                     C                                                         F                                 C 
When your heart was open wide and you loved things just because
                   F                       C           G 
Like the sick and the dying
         C                                                         F                             C 
And sometimes when you're on you're really fucking on
                   F                                 C                           G 
And your friends they sing along and they love you
                 C                                                       F                                   C 
But the lows are so extreme that the good seems fucking cheap
               F                           C                       G 
And it teases you for weeks in its absense
                       C 
But you'll fight and you'll make it through
               F                           C 
You'll fake it if you have to
                       F                     C                     G 
And you'll show up for work with a smile
                                   C 
And you'll be be better you'll be smarter
                       F                             C 
More grown up and a better daughter
       F                 C                 G 
Or son and a real good friend
                             C 
And you'll be awake and you'll be alert
                     F                                   C 
You'll be positive though it hurts
                       F                   C                           G 
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
                                 C 
And you'll be a real good listener
                     F                               C 
You'll be honest you'll be brave
                     F                                   C 
You'll be handsome you'll be beautiful
                     G 
You'll be happy

           C 
Your ship may be coming in
               F                                     C 
You're weak but not giving in
               F                         C                       G 
To the cries and the wails of the valley below
           C 
Your ship may be coming in
               F                                     C 
You're weak but not giving in
                       F                                   C                       G 
And you'll fight it you'll go out fighting all of them
