  G
Smoke detector on the ceilin'
C
I already know the feelin'
 G
Devil on my shoulder's real
            D       C
We've been here before
 G
Constellations in the carpet
          C
And it's not even gettin' dark yet
  Em
There's always thunder in August
   D           C
Before the storm

         G
Now my friends don't call me anymore 
              D
'cause they know that
C
I won't make it out the door to come over
Em                                      D    C
Used to the weight of the world on my shoulders,
ah

Chorus:
G
Help me
                   D              C
I'm still waitin' for someone to tell me
                                  Em
This won't last forever, but it's hell for me
                  D           C
Just to remind myself I'm supposed to breathe
                                  G
There ain't nobody else that can help me
                   D            C
Screamin' in the shower isn't healthy
                              Em
Holdin' it together, but it's hell for me
             D                   C
I'm not the person that I'm supposed to be

I don't think I'm makin' progress
Talk about a fuckin' process
I don't wanna have to work for it anymore
No wonder I wake up exhausted
When every night I'm turnin', tossin'
'Cause all I do is think about
What I don't wanna think about, oh

Chorus

         G
Now my friends don't call me anymore
              D
'cause they know that
C
I won't make it out the door to come over
Em                                       D     C
Used to the weight of the world on my shoulders, ah

Now my friends don't call me anymore
'cause they know that
I won't make it out the door to come over
Used to the weight of the world on my shoulders,
ah-ah

Chorus

                 G
