Em
I've been in this place since they were seen
D
As they struck, the men sleep next to me
Cmaj7                                    Em
I am closer to the axe 'cause they're reflecting me
Em
I'm a patient and I'm paralyzed
D
Scared they'd tell me I just can't suffice
Cmaj7                              Em
Oh, they cutting me, I internalize, oh, no

Chorus:
                C#m7-5
See, this is an emergency
          D
Nobody's helping me
         D#dim               Em
Somebody get this out of my mind
                C#m7-5
There's just no urgency
           D
And I'm in agony
               D#dim    Em
Oh, I guess no one listening

But then a hand reached out, told me I was next
Told me I was found and I feel so blessed
And now my heart beats again, my heart beats again
Oh, my heart beats again, my heart beats again
Oh, my heart beats again, my heart beats again
And my girl keeps saying that I'm paranoid
And it's something that I can avoid
I can break this cycle find my voice oh, yeah

Chorus:
Oh, this is emergency
Nobody's helping me
I gotta this out of my mind
It's such an urgency
To keep on hating me
Oh, is anybody listening?

              Em
Then a voice came down, told me I was next
 D
Told me I was found and I feel so blessed
            Cmaj7
And now my heart beats again, my heart beats again
Oh, my heart beats again, my heart beats again
Oh, my heart beats again, my heart beats again

Chorus:
Oh, this is emergency
Nobody's helping me
Somebody get this out of my mind
It's just no urgency
And I'm in agony
Oh, why is no one listening?

But then a hand reached out, told me I was next
Told me I was found and I feel so blessed
And now my heart beats again, my heart beats again
Oh, my heart beats again, my heart beats again
Oh, my heart beats again, my heart beats again
