[C#m]Feel, don't watch t[B]he mercury drop
[E]Things fell apart and then I t[A]urned and stopped and said
[C#m]I can't go o[B]n anymore like th[E]is
Save me from the tired hums
The crooked stares of the broken ones
One by one, let's watch them all disappear
I used to climb up to the attic at night
I'd end up in the basement screaming
I'm floating above all of you now

[A]It feels like [B]now they've [C#m]got me[Ebm] by the throat
[E]You make it sound [B]so sincere
[A]I never believe what I [A]always hear

x3
I never thought I'd see the day
They've got me by the throat
I'm force-fed all the answers
My paranoia spreads like cancer
I'm so far from all my problems now

[C#m]  [B]

[E]So I packed what's left of me and I'm leaving
[C#m]These city walls are [B]closing in on [E]me
Take me back before it all began
Before I'd run and before I cared
Sometimes my best just isn't enough

It feels like now they've got me by the throat

x4
You make it sound so sincere
I never believe what I always hear
I never thought I'd see the day
They've got me by the throat
I'm force-fed all the answers
My paranoia just spreads like cancer
I'm so far from all my problems now

They've got me by the throat }

All of the things that I've left behind
Have washed out to sea and soon comes
The day that a hard rain falls on me
