C Am F G Am
Carry me somewhere far away from the noise on this damn TV
F G C
From the needle and the spoon in front of me
Am F
These straps across my chest make it hard to breathe
G
And I can’t see
Am
Through all these silhouettes
F
Can’t they just let me be?
G C
Wait and see when the drugs take effect
Am
In the sky I see a sun
F
But I don’t feel the warmth
G Am
From it or anyone
F
I’m too tired to think
G C
Too tired to run
F C
But I don’t know what I’m trying to run from
F G
All I know is I need to be someone
C Am
Take these arms of mine
F
Tell them what to do
G Am
Tell them how to pass the time
F G C
Put a charm upon this life of mine
Am
And take this heart of mine
F
Tell it who to love
G Am
Who to leave behind
F G C
Tell it who to trust with these thoughts of mine
F C
But I don’t know what I’m trying to run from
F G
All I know is I need to be someone
Am G F
Who can laugh out loud
Am G F
Who can stand a crowd
Am G Am F G C
Who can sleep without these nightmares, nightmares, nightmares screaming out
Am
So carry me
F G Am
Somewhere far away from this life that’s waiting here for me
F
Give me something new
G
I need something new
Am
That I can believe
F
Just something true
G C
Please tell me who I got to be
F C
But I don’t know where that’s going to come from
F G
All I know is I need to be someone
F G Am
Who can take this pain
F G Am
Who can clean these veins
F G Am G
Who can make this change
F
Because I know I’ll die
G C
If I ever come back here again
