Intro: | G#m| F#| E| E  F#  
|                    G#m|                       F#|  E| E  F#  
    I dont wanna be here, I dont wanna be here at all
|                G#m|                   F#|    E| E  F#  
    Stuck in my head, trapped inside these walls

    Im drowning slowly in the mess that Ive made
|                    G#m|                       F#|  E|E  
    I dont wanna be here, I dont wanna be here at all
         |     B|B/         Bb|     G#m|F#  
    Can I let it go or will it haunt my soul?
             |       E|        Ebm|       C#m|       C#m  F#
