Nightmare Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]When I close my[Dm]
[Am][Dm][Am][Em]
[Bm]eyes[Am] and I try to sleep
The weight of the world falls [Bm]down on me
[Dm]It's all a part of my nightmare,
part [Am]of my nightmare[Dm]
[Am]Part of my nightmare,
[Em]part[Bm] of m[Am]y nightmare

[Verse 2]
Sick, inside [Am]of bed,
infected with the feelings
Staring up like my dreams
were projected on the ceiling
I can see it,
I want the money and the fame too
They told me when you get it, never
let it change you
And finally, I've morphed into
everything I tried to be
The fucking irony,
as everybody's got their eye on me
Society, quickly became my rivalry
Driving me off the deep end, then
doubt starts to creep in
Fairweather, they're never there,
do I need friends? We eating
But will they stick around
when the feast ends?
You say you love me when
it's glitter and gold
But when it's bitter and cold,
would you deliver my soul?
Or just cut me out the picture and roll?
Love is pain and it's taking its toll
Feel like I've wasted my whole life
Always working, searching for some shit
Tryna live a life that's perfect,

[Verse 3]
but perfect don't exist
[Am]When I close my eyes and I try to sleep
The weight of the world falls [Bm]down on me
[Am]It's all a part of my nightmare,
part of my nightmare
Part of my nightmare,
[Bm]part of my night[Am]mare
Spent my whole [Bm]life chasing
after dream[Am]s
But [C]every [D]dream turns [Dm]out to be
[F]Just a part of my nightmar[Am]e,
[Em]part of my nightmare[Am]
[D]Part of my nightmar[Bm]e,
part of my nightmare
[Am]Help me,

[Verse 4]
no, I can't help myself
Help me to believe that
I'm somebody else
Not some fucking addict who can't
dream 'cause his habits
Are chopped up on a table 'til he screams,
"Let me have it"
Fuck it, what's a life anyway, huh?
You hear about that kid who died again today,
huh?
I'd pull my fucking guts out just to make
you understand
That I've become a ghost,
I am a ghost, I'm not a man
Why can't I fucking say it? They'd
say that I'm insane
But in a song they'd play it 'cause
they understand the pain
What the fuck is going on? Who am I?
Life is just so fucking long, I wanna
Forgive me, don't forget me,
believe you can protect me
It's just a song, I'm venting with the
verse that's never- ending
And I have finally lost,
the world has finally won

[Verse 5]
Dear God, did you forget your son?
[Am]When I close my eyes and I try to sleep
The weight of the world falls [Bm]down on me
[Am]It's all a part of my nightmare,
part of my nightmare
Part of my nightmare,
part of [Bm]my night[Am]mare
Spent my whole [Bm]life
chasing after [Am]dreams
But [C]every [D]dream turns out [Dm]to be
[F]Just a part of my nightmar[Am]e,
[Em]part of my nightmare[Am]
[D]Part of my nightmar[Bm]e,
part of my night[Am]mare

[Verse 6]
Can't find a reason [Am]why,
don't know why I even try
I pray when I sleep at night, so
at least I'll die a decent guy
When I look in the mirror and say hi,
I can't look me in the eye
We're both ashamed of the guy
on the other side
Can't find my peace and quiet,
some things are better left in silence
It's me who needs some guidance,
or maybe what I need is violence
Well, I'm having a meltdown,
can't ask for help now
Got so much self-doubt that that
I weird myself out, can you help out?
So many selfish phobias
like self-inflicted loneliness
loneliness
Sometimes I get so low in this,
empty search for holiness
Can't seem to find a reason why, I don't
know why I even try
These demons,
they won't let me sleep at night
They're killing my dreams,
they need me to die
But fuck it, I got nothing left to say
We're all gonna die anyway
Shit could happen to me any day
I just spit 32 and didn't say a damn thing
