This is how I play this song on my acoustic guitar. I put a CAPO on the 4th fret.
It suits my voice nicely, but don't be afraid to move it around to your liking :-)




G C G
Sometimes in the morning i am petrified and can't move
C G D
Awake but cannot open my eyes
G C G
And the weight is crushing down on my lungs i know i can't breath
C G D
And hope someone will save me this time
G C G
Your mother's still calling you insane and high
C G D
Swearing it's different this time
G C G
And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her
C G D
And that god ever blessed her insides
G C G
Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting things
C G D
And crawl back into bed to dream of a time
G C G C
When your heart was open wide and you loved things just because
G D
Like the sick and the dying

G C G
And sometimes when you're on you're really fucking on
C G D
And your friends they sing along and they love you
G C G
But the lows are so extreme that the good seems fucking cheap
C G D
And it teases you for weeks in its absense
G
But you'll fight and you'll make it through
C G
You'll fake it if you have to
C G D
And you'll show up for work with a smile
G
And you'll be be better you'll be smarter
C G
More grown up and a better daughter
C G D
Or son and a real good friend
G
And you'll be awake and you'll be alert
C G
You'll be positive though it hurts
C G D
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
G
And you'll be a real good listener
C G
You'll be honest you'll be brave
C G
You'll be handsome you'll be beautiful
D
You'll be happy


G,C,G,C,G,D X2

G
Your ship may be coming in
C G
You're weak but not giving in
C G D
To the cries and the wails of the valley below
G
Your ship may be coming in
C G
You're weak but not giving in
C G D
And you'll fight it you'll go out fighting all of them

G,C,G,C,G,D X2 ((FADE OUT))
