 E5                                    D5 
you'll rescue me right? in the exact same way they never did
 E5                                       D5 
I'll be happy right? when your healing pow—ers kick in

part—ing with in—visible___ best friends___


Verse 2
 E5                                  D5
this ring will help me yet as will you knight in shining armor
     E5                                      D5
this pill will help me yet as will these boys gone though like water


 D                      G           C           D
but this won't work as well as the way it once did
 D              G              C            D
cuz I want to decide between survival and bliss
 D                        G        C                  D       
and though I know who I'm not I still don't know  who I am

but I know I won't keep on playing the victim

part—ing with child—hood___ best friend___


BRIDGE:

 A             C             G       E  
I've spent so long firmly looking outside me

I've spent so much time living in survival mode
