Have I lost my mind?
A E A

But I don't know why, cause I sleep alright
E
And I eat just fine
A
I'm not scared of being a lonely man

Or even dying, just missing out, just missing out
F#m E
It's not much to ask for
B C#m A E
We're only trying just to feel alright

We're only trying just to find that steady love
B C#m A E
We're only trying just to buy some time
B C#m A E B C#m A E
We're all just dyin, we're all just dyin to live (Oooo, ooooo x2)
E A B
I settle down, just a little bit
E
And I'm frozen in a photograph
A
With a coat on, and I wonder
B A
Well do I look alright? Does it matter? No!
E
All the faces will faaaade out
A B A
But I don't know why, cause I sleep alright
E
And I eat just fine
A
I'm not scared of being a lonely man

Or even dying, just missing out, just missing out

We're all just dyin, we're all just dyin to live (Oooo, ooooo) (x2)
E
I know there's something better
B A
I cannot fight what's falling apart
E
I'll get myself together
C#m B
Together, Together
A E
My shield of rusted metal
C#m B A
Can't keep this world from falling apart
E
So let's tear this down together
C#m B
Together, Together
F#m E
It's not much to ask for
B C#m A E
We're only trying just to feel alright
B C#m A E
We're only trying just to find that steady love
