[Verse 1]
[Am]Is t[F]here[Am][F][Am][F][G]
[Am]something
wrong with [F]hanging out in a [Am]fra gile state o[F]f mind?
I [Am]do it all th[F]e time I think
as I [G]sip on my cheap wine
I [Am]can see everyone a[F]round
me seems [Am]so pl[F]eased
In my [Am]head, I'm on my [F]knees pleading
[G]with myself to leave So I fake [C]it[F]
To the point, I start to [G]hate [C]it[F]
And I just [G]can't shake [C]this [F]feeling
And I hate to feel exposed
And I feel [G]like [C]I'm the [F]only one
In a crowd with their clothes Here [Am]we go,
everyone is ap[F]proaching me
[Am]Asking about those [F]close to me
And if [Am]life's going how it's sup[F]posed to be,
[G]but it's not
And [Am]I know that I [F]should smile
and shake [Am]their hand
And [F]every [Am]feeling in my
gut [F]says
I should've [G]took my chance and ran
Cause I can't take [C]it[F]
I begin to wonder if I'll [G]make [C]it[F]
And there's got[G]ta [C]be a way to
bring [F]my mind back from the cold
To avoid [G]the [C]stares of everyone
[F]and give me back my
Clothes And [C]you know,
[F]the Phoenix may rise up and fly again
But one would [G]think it'd [C]lose
a [F]bit of soul everytime
[C]The ash[F]es may always reform
But do the flames hap[G]pen to [C]burn
[F]away the scars in my mind?

[Verse 2]
[C]A Phoenix may[F] rise up and fly again
But one would [G]think it'd [C]lose
a bit of [F]soul [G]everytime
[C]The ashes may[F] always reform
But do the flames hap[G]pen to [C]burn away the
[F]scars in my [C]mind? [F](No!)
I don't [G]think they [C]do...[F]
I don't think they [C]do...[F]
I don't [G]think they [C]do...[F]
[G]Is there something wro[F]ng with hanging
out in a fragile state of mind?
[G]I do it all the[F] time I think as
I sip on my cheap wine
[G]I can [C]see every[F]one around
me seems so pleased
[G]In my head, I'm on my [F]knees
pleading with myself to leave
