[Intro]
 
F         C         G
Am I the only one I know
F          C              G
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
F            C                G    F    Em
Shadows will scream that I'm alone-lone-lone
 
( Am  F  C  G  Am  F  C  G )
  
[Verso 1]
 
Am               G
I - I - I - I - I've got a migraine
C                           G
And my pain will range from up, down and sideways
Am                              G
Thank God it's Friday 'cause Fridays will always
   C                                          G
Be better than Sundays 'cause Sundays are my suicide days
Am                     G
I don't know why they always seem so dismal
C                               G
Thunderstorms, clouds, snow and a slight drizzle
Am                                         G
Whether it's the weather or the letters by my bed
    C                                                G
Sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head
Am                                G
Let it be said what the headache represents
          C                                      G                Am
It's me defending in suspense, it's me suspended in a defenseless test
                      G           C
Being tested by a ruthless examinant
                   G
That's represented best by my
               G
Depressing thoughts
     C                                                G
I do not have writer's block, my writer just hates the clock
        Am                                            G
It will not let me sleep, I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead
C                                                             G
And sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head
 
[Chorus]
 
F        C          G
Am I the only one I know
F          C              G
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
F            C               G
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
      Dm         C/E            F7
But I know we've made it this far, kid
C  Dm/F  Am  G7
          Yeah yeah yeah!

( C  Dm/F  Am  G7 )
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am
I am not as fine as I seem, pardon
C
Me for yelling, I'm telling you green gardens
Am
Are not what's growing in my psyche, it's a different me
C
A difficult beast feasting on burnt down trees
       Am                                          G
Freeze frame please, let me paint a mental picture portrait
C                                             G
Something you won't forget, it's all about my forehead
    Am                               G
And how it is a door that holds back contents
C                                          G
That make Pandora's Box's contents look nonviolent
Am                              G
Behind my eyelids are islands of violence
C                                           G
My mind's shipwrecked, this is the only land my mind could
Am                            G
Find, I did not know this was such a violent island
C                              G
Full of tidal waves, suicidal crazed lions
        Am                                         G
They're trying to eat me, blood running down their chin
      C                                        G
And I know that I can fight or I can let the lion win
  Am                                G
I begin to assemble what weapons I can find
       C
'Cause sometimes to stay alive you got to kill your mind
 
[Chorus]
 
F        C          G
Am I the only one I know
F          C              G
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
F            C               G
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
      Dm         C/E            F7
But I know we've made it this far, kid
C  Dm/F  Am  F7
          Yeah yeah yeah!
C  Dm/F  Am  F7
          Yeah yeah yeah!
 
[Verso 3]
 
C                                           Dm/F
And I will say that we should take a day to break away
Am                                                F7
From all the pain our brain has made, the game is not played alone
C                                    Dm/F
And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it
    Am                                      F7
And keep it frozen and know that life has a hopeful undertone
C                                           Dm/F
And I will say that we should take a day to break away
Am                                                F7
From all the pain our brain has made, the game is not played alone
C                                    Dm/F
And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it
    Am                                      F7
And keep it frozen and know that life has a hopeful undertone
 
[Outro]
 
F        C          G
Am I the only one I know
F          C              G
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
F            C               G
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
      Dm         C/E            F7
But I know we've made it this far, kid
C  Dm/F  Am  F7
          Made it this far
C  Dm/F  Am  F7
          Made it this
