I'm not totally sure about the bridge how it goes but it's something like that. Feel free to correct!
I decided to add the opening riff here as well. Goes something like this:

[Verse 1]
Have you Emhad a million reasons why you Cwish you'd never seen the trGuth?D  
Have you Emlooked into the mirror and the Cproblem's staring back at yGouD  
EmI can't control myself, don't know who I've Cbeen
And who is this Gmonster wearing my Dskin?
A movie in Emblack and white. When will it Cend?
'Cause every time I Gscream no one Dhears me
[Chorus]
It feels like I'm Emparalyzed, and I Ccan't
escape from the Gprison I'm living Din.
I'm naming the Emvoices in my Chead
They keep on Gtelling me to give Din
But it's making me Amstronger
Fight a little Bm7longer
I'm gonna Cbring me back to lifeD  
And I won't be paralyzed
[Verse 2]
Have you Emsearched for something deeper out of Cfear that life's a lonely Groad?D  
Have you Emroamed the darkest corners of the Cearth until you're just a Gghost?D  
I can't contEmrol myself, don't know who I've Cbeen
And who is this Gmonster wearing my Dskin?
A movie in Emblack and white. When will it Cend?
'Cause every time I Gscream no one Dhears me
[Chorus]
It feels like I'm Emparalyzed, and I Ccan't
escape from the Gprison I'm living Din.
I'm naming the Emvoices in my Chead
They keep on Gtelling me to give Din
But it's making me Amstronger
Fight a little Bm7longer
I'm gonna Cbring me back to lifeD  
And I won't be paralyzed
[Bridge]
CI'm not afraid, I can face my demons
EmEven if they tear me Ddown
CIf I fall, let me fall, it might take time
But DI'll find my own way out
[Chorus]
It feels like I'm Emparalyzed, and I Ccan't
escape from the Gprison I'm living Din.
I'm naming the Emvoices in my Chead
They keep on Gtelling me to give Din
But it's making me Amstronger
Fight a little Bm7longer
I'm gonna Cbring me back to lifeD  
And I won't be paralyzed
