[Opening]
[F]Help me, it’s like the [Bb]walls are caving in

But [Bb]I just can’t, it isn’t in my [F]blood
Laying on the bathroom floor, feeling nothing
[Bb]I’m overwhelmed and insecure, give me something
[Dm]I could take to ease my mind slowly
Just have a drink and you’ll feel [F]better
Just take her home and you’ll feel [Bb]better
Keep telling me that it gets [Dm]better, does it [Bb]ever?

Someone [F]help me, I’m [Bb]crawling in my skin

But [Bb]I just can’t, it isn’t in my [F]blood
