[Verse 1]
B
Well I'm caught in the distance
B
Did I die in my sleep
E
Did I finish my sentence
E
Or was I grinding my teeth
B
Can I hold on forever
B
With anxiety dialed
E
Dialed up to the doorway
E
Can I doctor a smile

[Chorus]
 B
Lost in the distance
        A              E
It's a mask I wear so well
 B
Thousand yard stare
             A                     E
But it's my mind crawling through hell
G            E                  B
Another day goes by that ain't mine
G        E             B
Another day passing me by
G             E
Caught in a loop
A
I ain't here to bide my time

[Verse 2]
B
I ain't lost in the system
B
I ain't biting my tongue
E
It ain't stuck in my throat
E
With anything I've done
B
I've been playing so nicely
B
Trying to sleep through the night
E
And I won't live forever
E
Just by closing my eyes

[Chorus]
 B
Caught in the distance
        A              E
It's a mask I wear so well
 B
Thousand yard stare
             A                     E
But it's my mind crawling through hell
G            E                  B
Another day goes by that ain't mine
G        E             B
Another day passing me by
G             E
Caught in a loop
A
But I ain't here to bide my time

[Bridge]
G           E
And I can't take my finger
B
Off the pulse of the night
G           E
It's the realization
B
I can't adjust to the light
G           E
I could never tread lightly
B
Could hardly breathe
G           E
It was killing me slowly
B
It used to be the morphine
G                E             B
Another day goes by that ain't mine
G        E             B
Another day passing me by
G             E
Caught in a loop
A
But I ain't here to bide my time

[Verse 3]
B
Well we don't live forever
B
Try to sleep through the night
E
Does it ever get better
E
Just by closing my eyes
B
There's no absolute quiet
B
It's a darkness alright
E
It's the realization
E
I can't adjust to the light

[Chorus]
 B
Caught in the distance
        A              E
It's a mask I wear so well
 B
Thousand yard stare
             A                     E
But it's my mind crawling through hell
G            E                  B
Another day goes by that ain't mine
G        E             B
Another day passing me by
G             E
Caught in a loop
A
But I ain't here to bide my time
