Tap any chord in the song to see its shape. The boxes are drawn right-handed; Lefty flips them, which is how I actually play. Use − and + to move the whole song into a key that suits your voice, or tap Capo 3 to see the real chords with no capo.

Verse One

Do you ever have that feeling? That all the best days have dried away

Do you ever have monsters stealing, all of your free time

You're never reaching for the ceiling, when your feet are bolted through

The floorboards when you're reaching for the better grip closest to you

Chorus One

Although the fear has left me

I feel I'm in too...

And all the time I try to stay awake

When I want so badly to sleep

Verse Two

Well, all I know is the creeping, of the shadows lurking in

And all I get is this feeling, that my shame will never end

Now why do I keep on tripping, on all I say to you

It just leaves me thinking that this rest will never come

Chorus TwoSame as Chorus One. Tap to open.

Although the fear has left me

I feel I'm in too...

And all the time I try to stay awake

When I want so badly to sleep

Bridge

All the time has left me, I know that this is the last day

For this dream: for this dream to end back at one

Chorus Three

And though my fear has left me

I feel like I'm in too deep

And though my thoughts have abandoned me

It just leaves me room to think about

All the time I try to stay awake

When I want so badly to sleep

Outro

And though my fear has left me

I feel like I'm in too deep

When I want my head to fall away

You never get to see the waves

When you get pulled below

Once I get my hands to you

I'll never be able to let go
