G
  Just stop the act
Em
  You've been climbing up
   Bm               G
my back to weigh me down
         Em
I attempt  Keeping you and
         Bm
all your baggage off the
G
ground You're not just
                   Em
another nail in my coffin
           Bm
You're the box I'm laid
   G
to rotten alone in
    Em
But don't be surprised
     Bm
if I don't make it out-


[Refrain 1]
 A                  Bm     G
Alive So get a grip you're losing it
     Bm             A
Your time is fading fast
               Bm     G
I won't waste another second
            G              Em
