[Intro 1]
[Am]
[E][Am][C]
[Am][C][Am][C]
[Am][C][Am]

[Verse 1]
Why does [Am]it feel like [F]night today?
[E]Something inside's not right today
[Bb5]Why am[Am] I so uptight [F]today?
[E]Paranoia's[F] all I got lef[Bb]t
[Am]I don't know what
stressed [F]me first
Or how the [E]pressure was fed
[Am]But I know just what it feel[F]s like
To have a voice in the [E]back of my [Bb]head
It's like a [Am]face that

[Verse 2]
I hold in[F]side
A face that awakes when
I [E]close my [Am]eyes
A face [A5]watches every [Am]time I [F]lie
A face that laughs every [E]time I [F]fall
[Bb5](and watches [Am]everything)
[F]So you know that when
it's time [E]to sink or [Am]swim
That the face inside is [F]here in me,
right under[E]neath my skin
[Am]It's like I'm

[Verse 3]
[Am]paranoid
[C]lookin' over my back
It's [Am]like a whirlwind in[C]side of my head
It's like [Am]I can't stop
[C]what I'm hearing within
It's [Am]like the face inside [C]is
right beneath [Bb5]my skin
[Am]I know

[Verse 4]
I've got a [F]face in me
Points out [E]all the mis[Bb5]takes in me
[Am]You've got a face on [F]the inside too
Your [Bb]paranoia's probably worse
[Am]I don't know what set me[F] off first
but I know what I can't [Bb5]stand
Everybody [Am]acts like the fact of the [F]matter
is I can't add up to [E]what [Bb]you can
But every[Bb5]body has a f[Am]ace that

[Verse 5]
they hold in[F]side
A face that awakes when
I [E]close my [Am]eyes
A face that watches every time they [F]lie
A face that laughs every [E]time they [F]fall
[Bb5](and watches [Am]everything)
[F]So you know that when it's
time to [E]sink or [Bb5]swim
That the [Am]face inside is [F]watching you too,
right in[E]side your [Am]skin

[Verse 6]
It's like I'm [Am]paranoid
[C]lookin' over my back
It's [Am]like a whirlwind in[C]side of my head
It's [Am]like I can't stop [C]what
I'm hearing within
It's [Am]like the face inside is
[C]right beneath the skin
It's like I'm [Am]paranoid
[C]lookin' over my back
It's [Am]like a whirlwind in[C]side of my head
It's [Am]like I can't stop what
I'm [C]hearing within
It's [Am]like the face inside [C]is
right beneath my [Am]skin

[Verse 7]
The face inside is right [Am]beneath
your skin
The face inside is right
beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath
[Bb5]your skin[Am]

[Verse 8]
[Am]
The [F]sun [G]goes dow[D]n[Dm][D][Dm]
[F][G]
I [Dm]feel [D]the light betray me
[Dm]The [F]sun [G]goes dow[D]n[Dm][F][G]
[D]I feel the light betray
[Am]me (the sun)
It's like [F]I'm

[Verse 9]
paranoid lookin'
over [G]my back (the sun)
It's like [D]a whirlwind inside of my head
[Dm]It's like I ca[F]n't stop what
I'm hearing [G]within
It's [D]like the face inside is right beneath the
skin (I feel the light betray [F]me)

[Verse 10]
It's like I'm paranoid lookin'
over [G]my back (the sun)
It's like [D]a whirlwind inside of my head
It's [Dm]like [F]I can't stop what I'm h[G]earing
within (I feel the light betray [F]me)
It's like I can't stop what
I'm hearing [G]within
It's [F]like I can't stop what
I'm hearing [G]within
It's like the [D]face inside is
right beneath [Am]my skin
