C/EEmC/EBm/DC
[Verse 1]
C/EEm
Mirror mirror on the wall, yeah
C/EBm/D
Tunnel vision on the flaws
C
In the scale of things it's unimportant
C
So no talking, but it's still an intrusive thought
C/EEm
Tried hard to correct it, yeah
C/EBm/D
But nothing was effective, uh
C
No one else seemed so obsessed with it
C
Things were desperate until the voice crept in
[Verse 2]
C/EEmC/EBm/D
"I can help you, trust me, you're ready"
C
It seemed dangerous
C
But it said to have faith in it
C/EEmC/EBm/D
"The secret is to just be empty"
C/F
Didn't know if it was wise to listen, but
C/A
What could it hurt to try?
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
And at first, it was working, but then things were emerging
FG
Cracked lips and tired eyes, I'm hungry with no appetite
Am
I'm shivering and shaking, and I tell myself it's fine, but
FG
You can't fool your body, you can only fool your mind, yeah
AmF
Empty, I just need to be empty, hide from anybody who'll prevent me
G
Just fill up on water and shame, no, I'm not hungry, I just ate
Am
I've developed a taste for this, Endure the neverending ache
F G N.C.
Convince myself I'm in control and it's not all that voice that makes me sick
[Chorus]
AmC/DC
Inside it's em-em-em-empty
Fmaj7
I know, I know it's wrong
F
I'm looking, but I can't see myself
AmC/DC
Inside it's em-em-em-empty
Fmaj7
I know, I know it's wrong
F
But it's so hard to stop it alone
[Verse 3]
C/EEm
Been getting even worse
C/EBm/D
All the days begin to merge, yeah
C
Just a blurry haze and now it's
C
Almost second nature to ignore the urges
C/EEm
Can't trust my own nature
C/EBm/D
Every calorie a failure, ah
C
Gotta push the intake down every day
C
'Cause the voice comes back to say
[Verse 4]
C/EEmC/EBm/D
"You want to eat? Bite your tongue"
C
Don't want to stay an embarrassment
C
Just have to stomach it
C/EEmC/EBm/D
"They don't know what you want"
C/F
A tug of war against common sense
C/A
Don't wanna believe that I've overstepped
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
But it's so overwhelming and I hope no one can tell
FG
'Cause the numbers keep decreasing, this ordeal is becoming routine, check
Am
Arms, back, neck, thighs, suck it in and pinch my sides
FG
The scales are betraying me, the mirror is a lie, yeah
Am
Numbers, it all comes down to numbers I know it's wrong but
FG
Just because you know you're colorblind, doesn't mean you can see the colors
Am
Fine, I admit I'm addicted, but the hunger feels good, how do I quit this
F G N.C.
I know I could die, I've seen the statistics, but the voice is with me through thick and thin
[Chorus]
AmC/DC
Inside it's em-em-em-empty
Fmaj7
I know, I know it's wrong
F
I'm looking, but I can't see myself
AmC/DC
Inside it's em-em-em-empty
Fmaj7
I know, I know it's wrong
F
But it's so hard to stop it alone
[Chorus]
AmC/DC
Inside it's em-em-em-empty
Fmaj7
I know, I know it's wrong
F
I'm looking, but I can't see myself
AmC/DC
Inside it's em-em-em-empty
Fmaj7
I know, I know it's wrong
F
But it's so hard to stop it alone
[Bridge]
Am
I can reach out
Asus2Asus4
To someone not like me
Fmaj7G
If you ask for help it, doesn't make you weak
F
I can reach out
Am/FAsus2/FAsus4/F
To someone not like me
Fmaj7F
I can help my mind learn to trust my body
Am
I can reach out
Asus2Asus4
To someone not like me
Fmaj7G
If you ask for help, it doesn't make you weak
F
I can reach out
Am/FAsus2/FAsus4/F
Ignore what the voice tells me
Fmaj7F
I can help my mind learn to trust my body
[Chorus]
AmC/DC
Inside it's em-em-em-empty
Fmaj7
I know, I know it's wrong
F
I'm looking, but I can't see myself
AmC/DC
Inside it's em-em-em-empty
Fmaj7
I know, I know it's wrong
F
But it's so hard to stop it alone
[Outro]
AmC/DC
Inside it's em-em-em-empty
Fmaj7F
I can reach out (I can reach out oh-oh-oh-oh)
AmC/DC
Inside it's em-em-em-empty
Fmaj7F
I can reach out (I can reach out)
