                              Cm7 F7 G# Fm
Just in case I don't make it home
                      A#      Cm7 F7 G# Fm A#
Just in case I don't make it home

         Cm7
Are you seeing this?
              F7
Was it your breath, or kiss
         G#
Upon my neck like this
                       Fm
Just like you took my dying wish
    A#                  Cm7
Now I'm all covered in red from your lips
                          F7
Tweaking from seeking the way to your hips
                  G#
Schizo from your finger tips
               Fm        A#
Can't seem to stop this twitch

         Cm7
Are you tuning in?
              F7
The crowd is hollering
                   G#
Jump, jump, jump, jump again
                Fm
Camera crew is wearing thin
  A#                  Cm7
They wanna see me explode upon, emoticon
     F7
Oh, don't you see the road I'm on?
     G#
I'm real bad, can't quit
 Fm
Baby, are you seeing this?

Chorus:
 Cm7   F7             G#
Baby, turn on the news
                        Fm                A#
They're talking about me like I'm going crazy
 Cm    F               G#
Baby, turn on the news
                          Fm
Press record when I say it
                      A#       Cm7 F7 G# Fm A#
Just in case I don't make it home

Are you following Local 5 or CNN?
They asked me for my next of kin
Oh, I'm a wreck-ening
They think that they should lock me in
A rubber room, and then make sure
I don't hurt myself
Or someone else, or even worse, a nurse

Are you getting me?
They think that I'm crazy
But, baby, this cold straight white jacket
Don't even phase me
Oh, I was playing them, tried to give me lithium
Didn't know that I could swim home again
Come on, baby, let me in

Chorus:
Baby, turn on the news
They're talking about me like I'm going crazy
Baby, turn on the news
Press record when I say it
Just in case I don't make it home

                      A#       Cm7 F7 G# Fm
Just in case I don't make it home
                      A#
Just in case I don't make it home

  Cm
Flashing lights are blinding all my sights
 D#                            G#
Don't know if I'll make it through the night
          Cm              Cm7
When you see me on your screen
             Fm7                           G7
Then you'll know just what I mean when I'm saying
 Cm7   F7   G#     Fm  A#
Home, home (home, home)

Chorus:
Baby, turn on the news
They're talking about me like I'm going crazy
Baby, turn on the news
Press record when I say it
Just in case I don't make it home

Just in case I don't make it home
Just in case I don't make it home
