Migraine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F]Am I the [C]only one I [G]know
[F]Waging my [C]wars behind my [G]face
and above my throat
[F]Shadows will [C]scream that I'm a[G]lone[F][E]
[Am][G][C][G]
[Am][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I-I-I I've got a[G] migrain[C]e
And my pain will range
from up, [G]down, and sideways
[Am]Thank God it's Friday
cause Fridays [G]will always be
[C]better than Sundays
'Cause Sundays are [G]my suicide days
[Am]I don't know why
they always [G]seem so dismal
[C]Thunderstorms, clouds, snow
and a [G]slight drizzle
[Am]Whether it's the weather
or the letters [G]by my bed
Some[C]times death seems better
than the mi[G]graine in my head

[Verse 2]
[Am]Let it be said
what the headache [G]represents
It's me de[C]fending in suspense
It's me suspended [G]in a defenseless [Am]test
Being tested by a [G]ruthless examin[C]er
That's represented [G]best
by my [Am]depressing [G]thoughts
I do [C]not have writer's block
my writer just [G]hates the clock
It will [Am]not let me sleep
I guess I'll sleep [G]when I'm dead
And some[C]times death seems better
than the migraine [G]in my head

[Chorus 1]
[F]Am I the [C]only one I [G]know
[F]Waging my [C]wars behind my face
[G]and above my throat
[F]Shadows will [C]scream that I'm a[G]lone
But I [Dm]know, we've [C]made it this [F]far, kid

[Interlude 1]
[C]Yea[Dm]h yea[Am]h ye[F]ah
[C][Dm][Am][F]

[Verse 3]
[Am]I am not as fine as I seem
Pardon, [C]me for yelling
and telling you green gardens
Are [Am]not what's growing in my psyche,
it's a different me
A [C]difficult beast feasting on burnt down trees
Freeze [Am]frame,
please let me paint a mental [G]picture portrait
[C]Something you won't forget,
it's all a[G]bout my forehead
And [Am]how it is a door
that hold's [G]back contents
That [C]makes Pandora's box contents
[G]look non-violent

[Verse 4]
[Am]Behind my eyelids are island[G]s of violence
My [C]mind ship-wrecked
this is the only [G]land my mind could [Am]find
I did not know it was such a [G]violent island
[C]Full of tidal waves, suicidal [G]crazed lions
They're [Am]trying to eat me,
blood running [G]down their chin
And I [C]know that I can fight,
or I can let the [G]lion win
I be[Am]gin to assemble what weapons I[G] can find
'Cause [C]sometimes to stay alive
you gotta [G]kill your mind

[Chorus 2]
[F]Am I the [C]only one I [G]know
[F]Waging my [C]wars behind my face
[G]and above my throat
[F]Shadows will [C]scream that I'm a[G]lone
But I [Dm]know, we've [C]made it this [F]far, kid

[Interlude 2]
[C]Yea[Dm]h yea[Am]h ye[F]ah
[C]Yea[Dm]h yea[Am]h ye[F]ah

[Bridge 1]
[C]And I will say that we
should take a [Dm]day to break away
From [Am]all the pain our brain has made,
the game is [Cm]not played alone
[C]And I will say that we
should take a [Dm]moment and hold it
And [Am]keep it frozen and know
that life has a [Cm]hopeful undertone
[C]And I will say that we
should take a [Dm]day to break away
From [Am]all the pain our brain has made,
the game is [Cm]not played alone
[C]And I will say that we
should take a [Dm]moment and hold it
And [Am]keep it frozen and know
that life has a [Cm]hopeful undertone

[Chorus 3]
[F]Am I the [C]only one I [G]know
[F]Waging my [C]wars behind my face
[G]and above my throat
[F]Shadows will [C]scream that I'm a[G]lone
But I [Dm]know, we've [C]made it this [F]far, kid

[Solo 1]
[C]We'[Dm]ve ma[Am]de it this far[Cm][C]
[Dm]We'v[Am]e made it this[Cm]
