[Verse 1]
Am         Dm
  III I've got a migraine
C
 And my pain will range from up, down,
    G
and sideways,
Am                                  Dm
Thank God it's Friday 'Cause Fridays
               C
will always be better than Sundays 'Cause Sundays are my
       G
suicide
days,
Am                             Dm
  I don't know why they always seem so dismal,
C
Thunderstorms, clouds, snow,
             G
and a slight drizzle,
Am                                      Dm
Whether it's the weather or the letters by my bed,
         C                                           G
Sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head,
Am                                 Dm
  Let it be said what the headache represents,
          C
It's me defending in suspense,
                         G         Am
It's me suspended in a defenseless test
                  Dm            C
Being tested by a ruthless examinant
                        G       Am   Dm
That's represented best by my depressing thoughts,
     C
I do not have writer's block,
                         G
My writer just hates the clock,
        Am
It will not let me sleep,
                    Dm
I'll get some sleep when I'm dead,
             C
And sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my
G
head.

[Chorus]
F          C             G
Am I the only one I know,
F             C              G
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
F                  C              G
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
      Dm         C/E          F7
But I know we've made it this far, kid.

[Verse 2]
Am                         Dm
I am not as fine as I seem,  pardon
C
Me for yelling,
                      G
I'm telling you green gardens
    Am
Are not what's growing in my psyche,
Dm
it's a different me,
  C
A difficult to be,
                         G
stop feasting lumberdown trees
       Am
Freeze frame please,
                      Dm
let me paint a mental picture portrait,
C
Something you won't forget,
                  G
it's all about my forehead,
    Am                          Dm
And now it is a door that holds back contents,
     C                                     G
That make Pandora's Box's contents look nonviolent,
Am                        Dm
  Behind my eyelids are islands of violence,
   C
My mind shipwrecked,
                         G          Am
This is the only land my mind could find,
                             Dm
I did not know it was such a violent island,
C
Full of tidal waves,
                G
suicidal crazed lions,
        Am
They're trying to eat me,
              Dm
blood running down their chin,
      C                                           G
And I know that I can fight or I can let the lion win,
    Am                           Dm
I begin to assemble what weapons I can find,
       C                                           G
'Cause sometimes to stay alive you gotta kill your mind.

[Chorus]
F          C             G
Am I the only one I know,
F             C              G
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
F                  C              G
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
      Dm         C/E          F7
But I know we've made it this far, kid.

[Interlude]
C
 Ooh, oh
Am F7
   Yeah, yeah, yeah

 Ooh, oh
Am F7
   Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
C
 And I will say that we should take a day to break away
     Am
From all the pain our brain has made,
            F7
The game is not played alone.
C
 And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it,
    Am
And keep it frozen and know that
           F7
Life has a hopeful undertone.
C
 And I will say that we should take a day to break away

[Chorus]
F          C           G
Am I the only one I knoow,
F             C              G
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
F                  C              G
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
      Dm         C/E          F7
But I know we've made it this far, kid.

[Outro]
