[Verse 1]
Bbm                      Ab
Six months clean off the dopamine
Gb                         Ab
Throw my phone through the wall
Bbm                    Ab
My friends can't get a hold of me
       Gb                  Ab
Just a dial tone when they call

[Pre-Chorus]
Bbm                      Ab
Chills and sweats comin' over me
        Gb              Ab
And I'm aching from the withdrawal
     Bbm                 Ab
This chemistry has got a hold of me
      Gb                Ab
Got a hold of me, got a hold of me

[Chorus]
      Bbm
I'm a dopamine addict,
   Ab
I can't break the habit
Gb               Ab
Runs in my head, psychosomatic
  Bbm                  Ab
I stare in the mirror, hide
in the attic
Gb                   Ab
Cry in my bed, I'm a dopamine addict
Bbm
And I feel like I'm out of touch
Ab
Keep thinkin' I need that crutch
Gb                             Ab
Keep thinkin' I need that rush
       Bm
I just can't break the habit,
Ab
can't break the habit
Gb               Ab
Runs in my head, dopamine addict

  Bbm
I have these dreams
          Ab
where I'm me again
         Gb                       Ab
And they almost feel like they're real
        Bbm            Ab
It's as if I have self-esteem again
        Gb                 Ab
It's as if I'm starting to heal

[Pre-Chorus]
     Bbm
The chills and sweats
       Ab
grab a hold of me
         Gb                Ab
And they pull me out of my dream
     Bbm                    Ab
They just won't seem to let go of me
       Gb               Ab
To let go of me, to let go of me
