Mentally Drowning

G
I'm at a low point in my life
        F         C
Like my mind shot happiness on sight
             G                      G   G/A  G
I might give up, watch dark turn to light
      F                    C N.C.
As my mind races past, the stars in the night

[Verse 2]
  G
I fight to keep my head above the waves
                F
So I don't wake up one day
              C
With a bed of wet sand as my grave
        G
But the sharks, they circle in the waves
             F       C
They bite me slowly, killing me for days

[Chorus 1]
    G
Ooh whoa I'm mentally drowning
         F            C
With the tide, slowly killing me inside
    G
Ooh whoa I'm mentally drowning
      F                  C N.C.
In my mind, it’s time to leave it far behind

[Verse 3]
   G
My workload it sinks like a broken boat
            F           C
Which has embraced, the water in its throat
        G
Writing papers, these songs cut like razors
        F         C N.C.
Lashing out, only leaving me with doubt

[Verse 4]
    G                         F
But someday, I pray that I'll fly
          C                           G
What if I fall with this anchor by my side
    G                         F
And falling I'll reach out my hand
            C                              G
And hold on hope that I'll live to see the land

[Chorus 2]
    G                 F
Ooh whoa I'm mentally drowning
         C                       G
With the tide, slowly killing me inside
    G                 F
Ooh whoa I'm mentally drowning
      C                                 G
In my mind, it’s time to leave it far behind

[Interlude 1]
G  F  C  G
Ah ah ah ah

[Interlude 2]
     G  F  C  G
Whoa-o -o -o -oh-ohhh

[Chorus 3]
    G                 F
Ooh whoa I'm mentally drowning
         C                       G
With the tide, slowly killing me inside
    G                 F
Ooh whoa I'm mentally drowning
      C                               G
In my mind, it’s time to leave it far behind

[Oohs]
G   Em6   Am9     G
Ooh ooh   ooh     ooh
G   Em6   Am9     G
Ooh ooh   ooh     ooh

[Ending]
G       Em6     Am9     G
Sinking sinking sinking away
    G       Em6     Am9     G
I'm sinking sinking sinking away
