Intro: F C G Am I the only one I know F C G Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat? F C G F Em Shadows will scream that I'm alone-lone-lone Am F C G Am F C G Verse 1: Am G I - I - I - I - I've got a migraine C G And my pain will range from up, down and sideways Am G Thank God it's Friday 'cause Fridays will always C G Be better than Sundays 'cause Sundays are my suicide days Am G I don't know why they always seem so dismal C G Thunderstorms, clouds, snow and a slight drizzle Am G Whether it's the weather or the letters by my bed C G Sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head Am G Let it be said what the headache represents C G Am It's me defending in suspense, it's me suspended in a defenseless test G C Being tested by a ruthless examinant G That's represented best by my G Depress...ing thoughts C G I do not have writer's block, my writer just hates the clock Am G It will not let me sleep, I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead C G And sometimes death seams better than the migraine in my head

Interlude: C Dm/F Am G7 Verse 2: Am I am not as fine as I seem, pardon C Me for yelling, I'm telling you green gardens Am Are not what's growing in my psyche, it's a different me C A difficult beast feasting on burnt down trees Am G Freeze frame please, let me paint a mental picture portrait C G Something you won't forget, it's all about my forehead Am G And how it is a door that holds back contents C G That make Pandora's Box's contents look nonviolent Am G Behind my eyelids are islands of violence C G My mind's shipwrecked, this is the only land my mind could Am F Find, I did not know this was such a violent island C G Full of tital waves, suicidal crazed lions Am G They're trying to eat me, blood running down their chin C G And I know that I can fight or I can let the lion win Am G I begin to assemble what weapons I can find C 'Cause sometimes to stay alive you got to kill your mind Chorus: F C G Am I the only one I know F C G Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
