When England took my mother's youngest son,
B F#
She demanded him back. She said,
B E
"Don't make me worry, son.
G#m F#
This isn't the time to run.
B E
You're always thinking
G#m F#
Until the thinking's done."
E B G#m
Talking myself down gets so hard.
F# E B G#m
All I know is I don't wanna die in my car.
F# E
I can't get out of my head,
G B G#m B G#m
Just like it's always been.
*pause*
B G#m
He's in the mirror staring back at me,
B F#
Smiling through his worn down teeth.
B E
I tell him, "You make me sick,
G#m F#
And the bullshit is getting thick."
B E
And sometimes the hardest part
G#m F#
Is just getting on with it.
E B G#m
Talking myself down gets so hard.
F# E B G#m
All I know is I don't wanna die in my car.
F# E
I can't get out of my head,
G
Just like it's always been.

G#m F# B E F#
E B G#m
Talking myself down gets so hard.
F# E B F#
All I know is I don't wanna die in my car.
E B G#m F#
The war inside my head keeps raging,
E B F#
And somehow the world keeps turning.
E B G#m F#
Yeah somehow the world keeps turning.
E B F#
Yeah somehow the world keeps turning.
