I could be daydreaming but for a moment
and somehow they're creeping back in
I could be sleeping and wake in a torrent 
somehow I get cought in their grips again

            A  B      Dbm    B
and here I am in my shame spiral
I'm sucked into it again
and I reach out for your benevolent opinion
           A          B      Dbm    B   E
and you bring the light back in.... ooooh

E                B                    A
don't leave me here with all these critical voices cause they
do the best to bring me down, bring me down
when I'm alone with all these negative voices I will
need your help to turn them down, turn them round

E           Abm         A
I could be listening to a conversation
a story I'm not even in
these voices have their way when I am unguarded
suddenly I step in quicksand again

         A  B      Dbm    B
Once again in my shame spiral
       A         B      Dbm    B   E
I am glad that you weigh in... ooooh

E                B                    A
don't leave me here with all these critical voices cause they
do the best to bring me down, bring me down
when I'm alone with all these negative voices I will
E                B                    A        Dbm
need your help to turn them down, turn them round

Dbm           B      Gbm   B
All these judgements so incisive
Dbm      B      A      B
voices left to their devices
Dbm   B         Gbm      B        Dbm
this woman's neuroses a desperate plea
      A          B      E B A           E B A       E
for slack to be cut to me.... cut to meeeeeeee... oooh

E                B                    A
don't leave me here with all these critical voices cause they
do the best to bring me down, bring me down
when I'm alone with all these negative voices I will
need your help to turn them down, turn them round
