C F

I've been wearing all black

C G

Since the day it started

C F

When I stopped and looked back

C G

As my mind departed

C F

I've been losing sleep

C G

And I cannot sit still (oh oh oh)

C F

I'm not the same woman

C G

That you were used to (oh oh oh)

F C G

I put my head underwater baby

F C G

I throw my clothes away in the trash

F C G

I stood barefoot on the blazing concrete

F C G

I was waiting for the god of thunder (To Crash)

C F

I don't wanna bore you

C G

With how I feel

C F

But when the walls came down

C G

The shit got real (oh oh oh)

C F

I never thought I

C G

Would ever be here

C F

Looking out on my life

C G

As if there was no their,there

F C G

I messed around with something I always hated

F C G

I took a blanket into the bath

F C G

Opened my eyes and hallucinated

F C G

I took a nap and woke up in the grass

F C G F

There's a little bit of magic, everybody has it

F C G

There's a little bit of sand left in the hourglass

F C G

My own mortality, I contemplated

F C G

Down in the valley i got hypnotized

F C G

It left a mark that hasn't faded

F C G

That's when I realized

F C G F

There's a little bit of magic, everybody has it

F C G

There's a little bit of sand left in the hourglass

F C G F

There's a little bit of magic, everybody has it

F C G

There's a little bit of fight left in the end

F C G

I put my head underwater baby

F C G

I hold my breath until it passed

F C G

Crossed my fingers and concentrated

F C G

I closed my eyes and I was free at last

Break
