Migraine

Chords

G-Tuning (Baritone)

[Verse 1]
           A
I-I-I-I-I've got a migraine
E
and my pain will range from up down and sideways
F#m
thank God it's Friday
                                             D
'Cause Fridays will always be better than Sundays

'Cause Sundays are my suicide days
A
I don't know why they always seem so dismal
E
Thunderstorms, clouds, snow, and a slight drizzle
F#m
Whether it's the weather or the letters by my bed
D
sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head
A
     Let it be said what the headache represents
               E
It's me defending in suspense

It's me suspended in a defenseless
F#m                                                D
test being tested by a ruthless examiner
                                                  [hold]
that's represented best by my depressing thoughts
A
I do not have writer's block

my writer just hates the clock
          E                                         F#m
it will not let me sleep, I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead
              D
and sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head

[Chorus]
A                              E
Am I the only one I know
F#m                                     D
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat
A                                              E
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
         F#m                              D
But I know we've made it this far, kid
A            E                      F#m      D
               yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
A [one strum]
I am not as fine as I seem pardon
E [one strum]
Me for yelling I'm telling you green gardens
F#m [one strum]
are not what's growing in my psyche

it's a different me
   D
a difficult beast feasting on burnt down trees
A
freeze frame

please let me paint a mental picture portrait
E
something you won't forget, it's all about my forehead
       F#m
and how it is a door that holds back contents
       D
that make Pandora's box's contents look non-violent
A
Behind my eyelids are islands of violence
      E                                                                                     F#m
my mind's shipwrecked, this is the only land my mind could find

I did not know it was such a violent island
D
Full of tidal waves, suicidal crazed lions
A
They're trying to eat me, blood running down their chin
E
and I know that I can fight or I can let the lion win
   F#m
I begin to assemble what weapons I can find
D
'Cause sometimes to stay alive you got to kill your mind

[Chorus]

Am I the only one I know

Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat

Shadows will scream that I'm alone

But I know we've made it this far, kid

yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3] (Same as other verses, just make sure the tempo stays the same)

And I will say that we should take a day to break away

from all the pain our brain has made

the game is not played alone

And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it

and keep it frozen and know that life has a hopeful undertone

[Repeat]

[Chorus]

Am I the only one I know

Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat

Shadows will scream that I'm alone

But I know we've made it this far, kid

We've made it this far, we've made it this
