G#m   B       C#m
Don't wake me up
          E
It's the best that
             G#m
I've felt in weeks
         B
And to be completely
C#m
honest I'd rather be
E
happily dead or asleep

C#m
Sit back and listen Close
your eyes if you feel it
         B
Cos I'm questioning everything
It's affecting all my decisions
  C#m
I saw you in the mirror
And switched up my rhythm
   B
Am I chasing a dream or am
I caught in the middle of it

Chorus:
E G#m               E
  Sometimes I wonder If
G#m    B     C#m
life is some sick joke
E        G#m
  Will I wake up and it's
    E        G#m
over No I'm still here
A
and I'm not dead

And most days it all feels the same
I can't tell no difference in pleasure and pain
And it makes me sick, sick joke
Like life is shoving its
fingers to the back of my throat

Chorus

E        G#m
And I'll hold on to a moment
E      G#m    B     C#m
Like a sad kid to a blanket
E         G#m
Would you tell me that I'm
    E          G#m
okay That I'm still here
A
and I'm not dead

E
Sit back and listen Close
your eyes if you feel it
        G#m
Cos I'm questioning everything
       F#
It's affecting all my decisions
   E
I saw you in the mirror
And switched up my rhythm
   G#m
Am I chasing a dream or am
F#
I caught in the middle of it

E            G#m
  And someday   I'll find you
F#              E
  Like a old key to a locked door
E               G#m
  Is it all just   some sick joke?
F#                A
  Am I still here? Cause I can't tell

Chorus:
Sometimes I wonder
If life is some sick joke
Will I wake up and it's over?
No, I'm still here and I'm not dead
And I'll hold on to a moment
Like a sad kid to a blanket
Would you tell me that I'm okay?
That I'm still here and I'm not dead?
