[Intro]
Am Dm

[Verse 1]
Am                F
Hide my memories away
(You're the one who obeyed,
you're the one who betrayed)
Am                       F
Hide my fears behind a smile
(Nothing's real anymore,
am I real? Am I–)

[Chorus]
Am
Keep your distance
    F
The voices inside me,
they all terrify me
Am
Keep your distance
     F
They say I'm a traitor but
I can't remember
     Dm        Am
It's all in my head now
         E            Am
But it's all just the same
     Dm        C
It's all in my head now
  E                  Am
I think I might go insane

[Interlude]
Dm Am E Am
Dm Am E Am

[Verse 2]
Am                     F
Tell myself I will be fine
(This was all my design,
you will always be mine)
Am                      F
Find myself back here again
(You were never my friend,
you were never my–)

[Chorus]
Am
Keep your distance
    F
I'm trying to fight it,
I'm trying to hide it
Am
Keep your distance
     F
But I keep on hurting and
you keep returning
     Dm        Am
It's all in my head now
         E            Am
But it's all just the same
     Dm        Am
It's all in my head now
  E                  Am
I think I might go insane
