  F#m                C#m
Yeah, I'm feeling so down
         E                     A
Like my head could touch the ground
F#m            C#m
I'm feeling so sick
          E            A
Of these voices in my head
       F#m            C#m
These fingers, these fingers
             E                A
They don't play the way they did
       F#m           C#m
These voices, these voices
            E              A
They won't leave me in my bed

F#m
Darling I'm amazed
C#m
Floating through the days
        E
Like a cannonball
               A
Like an inner voice says
F#m
Honey I'm a waste
C#m
Falling through the haze
        E
Like a cannonball
                    A
I'll come crashing down

Chorus:
F#m    E
Aaaaaahhhh
        B
Like an earthquake
                A
I can hear the voices
F#m    E
Aaaaaahhhh
           B                        A  F#m E
Make the ground shake like a cannonball
           B                        A  F#m E
Make the ground shake like a cannonball
           B                        A
Make the ground shake like a cannonball

This bad taste in my mouth
Don't think I can get it out
These cold sheets in my bed
And darling, where is my head?
Oh, lord
I feel old, I'm getting old

Darling I'm amazed
Floating through the days
Like a cannonball
Like an inner voice says
Honey I'm a waste
Falling through the haze
Like a cannonball
Like I'm crashing down

Chorus

F#m
Hopeless
     A
I'm hopeless
    C#m  B
I'm lost
    F#m
I'm hopeless
     A
I'm hopeless
    C#m  B
I'm lost
