Migraine

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    F   E
Shadows will scream that I'm alone-one-one

Am Dm C G Am Dm C G


[Verse 1]

Am                   Dm
I - I - I - I - I've got a migraine
C                               G
And my pain will range from up, down and sideways
Am                              Dm
Thank God it's Friday 'cause Fridays will always
   C                                          G
Be better than Sundays 'cause Sundays are my suicide days
Am                           Dm
I don't know why they always seem so dismal
C                                 G
Thunderstorms, clouds, snow 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                                      G                Am
It's me defending in suspense, it's me suspended in a defenseless test
                  Dm            C
Being tested by a ruthless examinant
                   G
That's represented best by my
          G
Depress...ing thoughts
     C                                       G
I do not have writer's block, my writer just hates the clock

        Am                                   Dm
It will not let me sleep, I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead
C                                                  G
And sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my 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
C C/D Am G7
         Yeah yeah yeah!

[Interlude]

C C/D Am G7


[Verse 2]

Am
I am not as fine as I seem, pardon
C
Me for yelling, I'm telling you green gardens
    Am
Are not what's growing in my psyche, it's a different me
  C
A difficult beast feasting on burnt down trees
       Am                                  Dm
Freeze frame please, let me paint a mental picture portrait
C                                     G
Something you won't forget, it's all about my forehead
    Am                          Dm
And how 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                                    G
My mind's shipwrecked, this is the only land my mind could

Am                                   Dm
Find, I did not know this was such a violent island
C                             G
Full of tidal waves, suicidal crazed lions
        Am                              Dm
They're trying to eat me, 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
'Cause sometimes to stay alive you got to 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
C C/D Am F7
         Yeah yeah yeah!
C C/D Am F7
         Yeah yeah yeah!


[Verse 3]

C                                    C/D
And I will say that we should take a day to break away
     Am                                           F7
From all the pain our brain has made, the game is not played alone
C                                    C/D
And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it
    Am                                      F7
And keep it frozen and know that life has a hopeful undertone
C                                    C/D
And I will say that we should take a day to break away
     Am                                           F7
From all the pain our brain has made, the game is not played alone
C                                    C/D
And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it

    Am                                      F7
And keep it frozen and know that life has a hopeful undertone


[Ending]

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
C C/D Am F7
         Made it this far
C C/D Am F7
         Made it this
