D Bm                                      A D
It's been like a year since I've been home
Bm                                           A D
Flirting with an addiction I can't shake off
Bm                               A D
My mouth is dry, I self medicate
Bm
This comedown won't cure itself
              A     G
It's driving you away
It's driving you away
F#m       G
Piece by piece
        A
Day by day

Chorus:
D Em Bm D            Em       G
Baby, tell me if I'm being strange
    D         Em      Bm
And if I need to rearrange
       D    Em
My particles
   G
I will for you
       D    Em
My particles
   G
I will for you

And I'm a shadow of a ghost
It's feeling as if somebody has taken host
Babe, I don't wanna make a scene
But I get self-destructive

And it's driving you away
It's driving you away
Piece by piece
Day by day

Chorus:
Baby, tell me if I'm being strange
And if I need to rearrange
My particles
I will for you

     A
Oh, doctor please
                     Bm
This don't feel right
     G
Oh, can't you give me something
                            Bm
To get me through the night?
      A
If it all falls apart
                            Bm
And if this thing goes wrong
    G
Oh put me back together
However you want
    D           A
My mind plays tricks
             Bm       G
And I don't sleep no more
    Bm      A
Oh doctor please
  Bm     D/A   G
I can't switch off

Chorus:
Baby, tell me if I'm being strange
And if I need to rearrange
My particles
I will for you
My particles
I will for you
