Em G C D

Oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse]

Looking at my window

I can see the light

All the pretty people

Turning inside out

Am D

Watching television every single night

And when you twitter your opinion

Oh it feels so right

[Chorus]

Em G

Wanna run wanna run but I'm paralysed

And the river running through me

Is as cold as ice

Em G

It's alright it's alright till you realise

That every memory is like a

Weight around your feet

[Verse]

But I'm still looking at the window

Trying to be someone

All the pretty people

Eyes like valium

Am D

Preening for the screen like a Kardashian

And do you ever get the feeling

You're the only one

[Chorus]

Em G

Wanna run wanna run but I'm paralysed

And the river running through me

Is as cold as ice

Em G

It's alright it's alright till you realise

That every memory is like a

Weight around your feet

It goes around around

Like dirty laundry

Spins around round

We are never free

But I will rise I will rise

Look you in the eye

C D

And remember how it feels to be alive

When we were free

Em G C D

Not paralysed

Em G C D

Apparently paralysed

Em G C D

Apparently paralysed

Em G C D Em

Apparently paralysed
