[Verse 1]

Serotonin stole the moment
F                                                                                                    C
The best of me was left under the bed sheets on that somber morning
G                                            D                                            F
Dying for some REM, my mind is always troubled with
C
Where have I been and where am I going

When my head comes crashing down
F                                                                                                    C
They’re all waiting at the bottom tryna claw me down beneath it all

Every night I beg that sound
F                                                                                                    C

Loaded vampires butter me up
F                                                                                                    C
Drop names and sniff up residue whilst boasting about their revenue
G                                                          D
At home I face these green-eyed beasts
F                                                                                      C
Everybody wants to leave but no-one wants to see you do it

When my head comes crashing down
F                                                                                                    C
They’re all waiting at the bottom tryna claw me down beneath it all

Every night I beg that sound
F                                                                                      C
It’s the greatest revelation and it’s the only thing that keeps me grounded

They’re all waiting at the bottom tryna claw me down beneath it all

Every night I beg that sound
F                                                                                      C
