G
Lookin' up

Never down
            C
Part of the crowd

In a room of doubt
       G
Movin' sea

Of bone and meat
       C
Bodies merging into

One big heap

    D    C    G
The hand to rescue me
C           G      N.C.
Just out of reach

G
And the sound

I have found
             C
It's getting loud

That incessant ring
      G
In my ears

What I fear
        C
Most of all

Deterioration

Em          B      C       G
I know it's a foolish thing to dwell
Em         Bm             C        G
Thinking of falling is the reason I fell
   D      C     G
As far as I can see
        C         G    N.C.
You're just like me


[Chorus]
Em               B
     Whatever I was back then
     C                G
I'm not like that now
Em                  Bm
     Tell me you're scared, who cares?
       C               Am
We're all scared somehow

 G    N.C.

[Verse]
       G
I was told

By a man
    C
To shoot for the stars
                          G
But they don't shine for me

What I see
      C
Is a big black could

And a faded dream

       Em             B       C        G
Well, sorry, I don't mean to sound so grim
     Em              Bm           C       G
But sometimes these thoughts are deafening
 D        C      G
Wouldn't you agree
        C         G    N.C.
You're just like me?


[Chorus]

 Em                 B
     Whatever I was back then
     C                G
I'm not like that now
 Em                  Bm
     Tell me you're scared, who cares?
       C               A      C
We're all scared somehow
             A             C
Yeah, we're all scared somehow
             A            Em
Yeah, we're all scared


[Verse]

You may feel leftover
            C               A
But you'll always make my team


[Chorus]

 Em                 B
     Whatever I was back then
     C                G
I'm not like that now
 Em                  Bm
     Tell me you're scared, who cares?
       C               A      G
We're all scared somehow
 C                       G
Say you give up, I give in
 C                       G
Say you give up, I give in
 C                       G
Say you give up, I give in
 C                       G
Say you give up, I give in
