G Am

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,

drifting through the wind

wanting to start again?

G Am

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin

like a house of cards,

one blow from caving in?

G Am

Do you ever feel already buried deep?

Em C

So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road

G Am

Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow

And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta

[Pre-Chorus]
