C           C
Another evening spent
F              C
In the corners of my brain
Am             G                F  C
Where I wander off into the dark
C              C
And I close my eyes and hope
    F                   C
The wolves won't follow me
Am                 G
But hope's hard of hearing
       F               C
So I'm waiting for the teeth

[Chorus 1]
Am                      G
I had to learn that the helping hands
           F                   C
Can be the same that holds the knife
Am
I know I'm not well
G              F  C
But I'm alright
Am                     G
You gotta learn how to take your hits
F                          C
When your hands are always tired
Am
I know I'm not well
G         F        C
But I'm alright

[Verse 2]
C              C
I memorize the ceiling
       F          C
With a fire at my feet
Am                  G                   F   C
While I give myself advice that I can't keep
C           C
I no longer ask myself
F                C
What any of this means
Am             G
I just want my mind to quit
         F            C
So I can finally fall asleep
Am                           G
Yeah I'm just waiting for my mind to quit
         F            C
So I can finally fall asleep

[Chorus 2]
Am                     G
I kept falling for the broken wing
          F               C
Because I couldn't pick a fight
          Am                                     G          F      C
But don't believe 'em when they tell ya that the bird won't bite
Am                     G
I can't tell you if it got this way
         F            C
Or if it started as a lie
Am
I know I'm not well
G         F      C
But I'm alright

Am                     G
I kept falling for the broken wing
          F               C
Because I couldn't pick a fight
          Am                                     G          F      C
But don't believe 'em when they tell ya that the bird won't

Am                     G
I had to learn that the helping hand
         F            C
Can be the same that holds the knife
Am
I know I'm not well
G         F      C
But I'm alright

Am
I know I'm not well
G         F      C
But I'm alright
