     Em
What happened to you?
G                  D
You've played the victim for
    Em               G   D
so long now in this game
        Em             G
What I thought was true
            D
Is made of fiction and
     Em            G
I'm following the same
    D
But If I

  C
try to make
      D
sense of this
         Em
mess I'm in
I'm not sure where
            C
I should begin
        D
I'm falling
        Em
I'm falling
Now I'm in

Chorus:
Em
Over my head with
 C
something I said
     G
Completely misread
     D
I'm better off dead
    Em
And now I can see
      C 
how fake you can be
        G 
This hypocricy's
   D
beginning to get to me

It's none of my concern
Don't look to me 'cause I don't believe in fame
I guess you never heard
I met our makers they don't even know your name
But if I had to say goodbye to leave this hell
I'd say my time has served me well
I'm falling
I'm falling

Chorus

Em         C
This came long before
G           D  
Those who suffer more
Em        C 
I'm too awake for this
    G    D
to be a nightmare
Em           C
What's with my disgrace
G             D  
I lost the human race
Em              C 
No one plans for it to
 G      D
Blow up in their face

Em           D        G
Who said it was easy to put
     Am
back all these pieces
Em           D          G
Who said it was so easy to
             D  
put back all of these pieces
Now I'm in

Chorus

Em C  G  D
Over my head
Em  C  G    D
better off dead - x2
