F        C            G
Am I the only one I know
F          C              G
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
F               C              G   F   E
Shadows will scream that I'm alone-one-one

Am                   Dm
I - I - I - I - I've got a migraine
C                               G
And my pain will range from up, down and sideways
Am                              Dm
Thank God it's Friday 'cause Fridays will always
    C                                          G
Be better than Sundays 'cause Sundays are my suicide days
Am                           Dm
I don't know why they always seem so dismal
C                                   G
Thunderstorms, clouds, snow and a slight drizzle
Am                                      Dm
Whether it's the weather or the letters by my bed
     C                                         G
Sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head

Let it be said what the headache represents
It's me defending in suspense, it's me suspended in a defenseless test
Being tested by a ruthless examinant
That's represented best by my depress...ing thoughts
I do not have writer's block, my writer just hates the clock
It will not let me sleep, I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead
And sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head

Chorus:
F        C            G
Am I the only one I know
F          C              G
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
F               C              G
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
       Dm         C/E          F7
But I know we've made it this far, kid

C C/D Am G7
         Yeah yeah yeah!

I am not as fine as I seem, pardon
Me for yelling, I'm telling you green gardens
Are not what's growing in my psyche, it's a different me
A difficult beast feasting on burnt down trees
Freeze frame, please let me paint a mental picture portrait
Something you won't forget, it's all about my forehead
And how it is a door that holds back contents
That makes Pandora's box contents look non-violent
Behind my eyelids are islands of violence
My mind ship-wrecked, this is the only land my mind could find
I did not know it was such a violent island
Full of tidal waves, suicidal crazed lions
They're trying to eat me, blood running down their chin
And I know that I can fight, or I can let the lion win
I begin to assemble what weapons I can find
'Cause sometimes to stay alive, you gotta kill your mind

Chorus

C C/D Am F7
         Yeah yeah yeah!
C C/D Am F7
         Yeah yeah yeah!

C                                    C/D
And I will say that we should take a day to break away
     Am                                           F7
From all the pain our brain has made, the game is not played alone
C                                    C/D
And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it
    Am                                      F7
And keep it frozen and know that life has a hopeful undertone
C                                    C/D
And I will say that we should take a day to break away
     Am                                           F7
From all the pain our brain has made, the game is not played alone
C                                    C/D
And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it
    Am                                      F7
And keep it frozen and know that life has a hopeful undertone

Chorus:
Am I the only one I know, oh
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
But I know, we've made it this far... kid

Made it this far
Made it this f
