A#          F        A      Dm
Ease your breath, Untie my hands
    A#      F    A       Dm
Release my neck, If you can
     A#            F          A Dm
You don't have to be like that

       A#                 A#m
Don't be afraid, There's nothing strange
      F         A  Dm
It's not a trap

Chorus:
             A#           F
But there's cars coming closer
        A                      Dm
And I think they're trying to run me over
 A#           F
Poisoning my food
              A              Dm
And putting drugs inside my water
          A#          F
There's ghosts in my house
           A                 Dm
And I can taste blood in my mouth

       A#             A#m
Don't be afraid, I'm not insane
        F       A            A#        A#m
Just irrational, but isn't that the same?
