      [Intro]

Em  C  G  G5/F# 
Em  C  G  G5/F# 


[Verse 1]

         Em                            C                         G   G5/F#
Have you had a million reasons why you wish you'd never seen the truth?
         Em                              C                             G   G5/F# 
Have you looked into the mirror and the clown is staring back at you?


[Pre-Chorus]

                Em                         C                             
I can't control myself, don't know who I've been, 
                G                  G5/F#
And who is this monster wearing my skin?
              Em                        C
A movie in black and white when will it end?
                      G             G5/F#
'Cause every time I scream no one hears me.


[Chorus]

                  Em                 C
It feels like I'm paralyzed, and I can't
                G                 D             
Escape from the prison I'm living in
                Em            C
I'm naming the voices in my head, 
                    G                  D
'Cause they keep on telling me to give in.
                    Am
But it's making me stronger, 
               Bm
Fight a little longer.
           C                 D
I'm gonna bring me back to life, 

And I won't be paralyzed.


[Verse 2]

         Em                                   C                         G     G5/F#
Have you searched for something deeper out of fear that life's a lonely road?
         Em                                C                          G       G5/F#  
Have you roamed the darkest corners of the earth, until you're just a ghost?


[Pre-Chorus]

                Em                         C                             
I can't control myself, don't know who I've been, 
                G                  G5/F#
And who is this monster wearing my skin?
              Em                        C
A movie in black and white when will it end?
                      G             G5/F#
'Cause every time I scream no one hears me.


[Chorus]

                  Em                 C
It feels like I'm paralyzed, and I can't
                G                 D              
Escape from the prison I'm living in
                Em            C
I'm naming the voices in my head, 
                    G                  D
'Cause they keep on telling me to give in.
                    Am
But it's making me stronger, 
               Bm
Fight a little longer.
           C                 D
I'm gonna bring me back to life, 
    D
And I won't be paralyzed.


[Bridge]

C
I'm not afraid I can face my demons,
Em 
Even if they tear me down.
C
If I fall, let me fall, it might take time, 
D  
But I'll find my own way out.


[Hook]

N.C.
It feels like I'm paralyzed, and I can't
N.C.
Escape from the prison I'm living in.


[Chorus]

                  Em               C
It feels like I'm paralyzed, and I can't
                G                 D        
Escape from the prison I'm living in
                Em          C
I'm naming the voices in my head, 
                    G                 D
'Cause they keep on telling me to give in.
                   Am
But it's making me stronger, 
               Bm
Fight a little longer.
          C                D
I'm gonna bring me back to life, 
                  Em     C                     G     D                      Em    C                     
It feels like I'm paralyzed, it feels like I'm paralyzed, it feels like I'm paralyzed, it feels like I'm 
G    D
paralyzed.
                 Am
But it making me stronger, 
               Bm
Fight a little longer.
          C                 D
I'm gonna bring me back to life, 

And I won't be paralyzed.
