[Verse 1]
E
Lately, there’s something
 going on in my brain
The chemicals are starting
     C#m
 to change
These thoughts keep hitting me
         A
 like a train out of nowhere
                   B
Train out of nowhere
      E
Like baby, I was numb and
 smiling the same
As I would smile before
         C#m
 I felt pain
Just tryna get through
         A
 another day
Just a body, oh just
a body yeah
