Em
Waking in sweat again
                            D
Another day's been laid to waste,
          Em
in my disgrace
Stuck in my head again
                                   D
Feels like I'll never leave this place,
             Em
there's no escape
       B
I'm my own worst enemy...

Chorus:
            Em G D     Am
I've given up,    I'm sick of feeling
Em        G               D
Is there nothing you can say?
Am            Em G D     Am
Take this all away, I'm suffocating
Em        G                D        Am
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me

I don't know what to take
Thought I was focused but I'm scared,
I'm not prepared
I hyperventilate
Looking for help somehow,
somewhere and no one cares
I'm my own worst enemy

Chorus

Em
God!
Put me out of my misery!
Put me out of my misery!
Put me out of my
Put me out of my fucking misery!

Chorus
