A5/E  

[Verse 1]
D5         E5  F#5         C#5
Calm me down before I sleep
       D5          E5     F#5           C#5
'Cause I don't know where I've just been
       D5          E5    F#5      C#5
And the morning seems so far away
        B5            C#5      D5
And the drugs just hit, so I'm wide awake

D5           E5   F#5 
Take a breath and try 
                 C#5
to think straight

'Cause therе's so much 
          E5     F#5          C#5
pressure on my fckin' brain
       D5            E5
And my blood runs thin 
           F#5        C#5
'cause I'm off my facе
       B5            C#5   
And my shoulders weigh more
      D5
 than I can take
(I can't fcking take it)
