C     Am               F             G                  Am
Carry me somewhere far away from the noise on this damn TV
           F           G                C
From the needle and the spoon in front of me

                         Am                  F
These straps across my chest make it hard to breathe
            G
And I can’t see
                        Am
Through all these silhouettes
                     F
Can’t they just let me be?
         G                       C
Wait and see when the drugs take effect

                   Am
In the sky I see a sun
                     F
But I don’t feel the warmth
     G     Am
From it or anyone
                 F
I’m too tired to think
      G       C
Too tired to run

F                                        C
But I don’t know what I’m trying to run from
F                            G
All I know is I need to be someone
C                   Am
Take these arms of mine
                  F
Tell them what to do
           G               Am
Tell them how to pass the time
        F     G                C
Put a charm upon this life of mine

                        Am
And take this heart of mine
                F
Tell it who to love
         G     Am
Who to leave behind
                 F          G                C
Tell it who to trust with these thoughts of mine

F                                         C
But I don’t know what I’m trying to run from
F                             G
All I know is I need to be someone

         Am    G   F
Who can laugh out loud
        Am    G  F
Who can stand a crowd
           Am G   Am            F                       G                 C
Who can sleep without these nightmares, nightmares, nightmares screaming out

         Am
So carry me
               F               G                          Am
Somewhere far away from this life that’s waiting here for me
                   F
Give me something new
                  G
I need something new
              Am
That I can believe
                 F
Just something true
                G           C
Please tell me who I got to be

F                                             C
But I don’t know where that’s going to come from
F                            G
All I know is I need to be someone

          F    G   Am
Who can take this pain
          F    G      Am
Who can clean these veins
          F    G    Am   G
Who can make this change

                     F
Because I know I’ll die
   G                       C
If I ever come back here again
