Am                 F
When did I become so numb?
C                G
When did I lose myself?
Am                        F
All the words that leave my tongue
C                              G
I feel like they came from someone else

Chorus:
         Am
I'm paralyzed
              F
Where are my feelings?
             C
I no longer feel things
           G
I know I should
         Am
I'm paralyzed
              F
Where is the real me?
                 C          G
I'm lost and it kills me inside
         Am  F C G
I'm paralyzed

When did I become so cold?
When did I become ashamed? (Oh)
Where's the person that I know?
They must have left,
they must have left, with all of my faith

Chorus

Am
I'm paralyzed
I'm scared to live but I'm scared to die
        F
And if life is pain then
I buried mine a long time ago
But it's still alive
          C
And it's taking over me - where am I?
I wanna feel something, I'm numb inside
             G
But I don't feel nothing, I wonder why
And on the race of life time passes by
    Am
Look, I sit back and I watch it,
hands in my pockets
             F
Waves come crashing over me, but
I just watch 'em
I just watch 'em
           C
I'm under water but
I feel like I'm on top of it
I'm at the bottom and
I don't know what the problem is
          G
I'm in a box
But I'm the one who locked me in
Suffocating and I'm running out of oxygen

Chorus

(I'm just so paralyzed) I'm paralyzed
(Yeah, I'm just so paralyzed)
Where are my feelings?
I no longer feel things (I have no feelings)
I know I should (Oh, how come I'm not moving?
Why aren't I moving?)
I'm paralyzed (Ay, yeah)
Where is the real me? (Where is the real me?
Where is the real me?)
I'm lost and it kills me,
(I'm paralyzed) inside (I'm paralyzed)
I'm paralyzed (I'm paralyzed)
