[Verse 1]
     D
I'm caught up in a life that
   A/E           Bm    G
I wish I could erase
   D
I want to disappear, want
    A/E              Bm   G
to leave without a trace
     D
I'm looking in the mirror but
   A/E                   Bm  G
I can't see through the pain
      D
So I take another pill and
   A/E           Bm     G
I hope it goes away

[Pre-Chorus]
           G5   A5  B5
Cause my bro---ken pieces
 A5    F#5  G5
don't fit  in

[Chorus]
D                    A
 Every time I feel alone
          Bm
Like the walls are caving
in like I never win
                   G
Like it's crawling under
my skin
                D
You're the antidote
                        A
Even when it hurts the most
          Bm
And I'm trying to find a way
but there's no escape
               G
Like a poison filling my veins
                D     A/E    Bm
You're the antidote
 G
You're the antidote

[Verse 2]
 D                       A/E
How do I go on when my dreams
                Bm     G
are ripped and torn?
     D
I'm tired and I don't
       A/E          Bm     G
wanna fake it anymore
          D
When it's all too much and
   A/E                     Bm  G
I feel like I'm about to break
    D
You always come around and
     A/E             Bm
the darkness fades away,
        G
fades away
