  Pots over gas flames
G            D
  Still in a haze
Em
  Not walking dead

  But alive and i'm fed
G                 D
  Still hungry for more
Em             C
  'Cause before i wake
G                    D
  Again, again, again, again, again, again

  In control, with fear ail hold
G            D              Em
