Am        G
Cold sweat, I'm at the edge
Em                 F
Boy, what's your problem?
Am          G        Em    F
Dizzy from falling, delirious
Am        G
I choke, don't let it show
Em              F
They'd call it weakness
Am      G                  Em          F
Sadness is secret, 'cause boys don't cry

Am            G
And I can't sleep, no dreaming
Em          F
My heart accelerates
Am          G
A thousand words are screaming
Em          F
I can't communicate, hey
F
I gotta beat this feeling
G
My body won't obey
G#dim                       Em
Breathe or you're going to fade

Chorus:
Don't panic
Am                  G
I'm gonna stand my ground, don't panic
Em                  F
Nothing'll pull me down, don't panic
Am               G
I'm gonna be the one, don't panic
Em              F
Nothing I won't overcome, don't panic
Am                   G
I'm gonna stand my ground, don't panic
Em                 F
Nothing'll pull me down
             Am   G                  Em     F Am G Em   F
I can't keep hold of, control of my spirit now
F
Don't panic

Chest tight, lights too bright
Smile for the picture
Crack in the mirror
An eye for an eye
Too loud, thundering sound
Keep it all silent
Nobody likes it to fuel your pain

And I can't sleep, no dreaming
My heart accelerates
A thousand words are screaming
I can't communicate (hey)
I've gotta beat this feeling
My body won't obey
Breathe, or you're going to fade

Chorus

Am C  G  Em       F         Am C
Emotion, keeps troubling me
       G     Em  F      Am C
Whole body, hard anxiety
      G      Em        F
Deep water, shore to shore I swim
F              Em
Have no hesitation

Chorus:
Don't panic
I'm gonna stand my ground
(Don't panic)
Nothing will pull me down
(Don't panic)
I'm gonna be the one
(Don't panic)
Nothing I won't overcome
(Don't panic)
I'm gonna stand my ground
(Don't panic)
Nothing will pull me down
I can't keep hold of, control of my spirit now
(Don't panic)
I'm gonna stand my ground
(Don't panic)
Nothing will pull me down
(Don't panic)
I'm gonna be the one
(Don't panic)
Nothing I won't overcome
(Don't panic)
I'm gonna stand my ground
(Don't panic)
Nothing will pull me down
I can't keep hold of, control of my spirit now
(Don't panic)
