Tom: C
G
I'm at a low point in my life
F C
Like my mind shot happiness on sight
G G G/A G
I might give up, watch dark turn to light
F C N.C.
As my mind races past, the stars in the night
[Verse 2]
G
I fight to keep my head above the waves
F
So I don't wake up one day
C
With a bed of wet sand as my grave
G
But the sharks, they circle in the waves
F C
They bite me slowly, killing me for days
[Chorus 1]
G
Ooh whoa I'm mentally drowning
F C
With the tide, slowly killing me inside
G
Ooh whoa I'm mentally drowning
F C N.C.
In my mind, it’s time to leave it far behind
[Verse 3]
G
My workload it sinks like a broken boat
F C
Which has embraced, the water in its throat
G
Writing papers, these songs cut like razors
F C N.C.
Lashing out, only leaving me with doubt
[Verse 4]
G F
But someday, I pray that I'll fly
C G
What if I fall with this anchor by my side
G F
And falling I'll reach out my hand
C G
And hold on hope that I'll live to see the land
[Chorus 2]
G F
Ooh whoa I'm mentally drowning
C G
With the tide, slowly killing me inside
G F
Ooh whoa I'm mentally drowning
C G
In my mind, it’s time to leave it far behind
[Interlude 1]
G F C G
Ah ah ah ah
[Interlude 2]
G F C G
Whoa-o -o -o -oh-ohhh
[Chorus 3]
G F
Ooh whoa I'm mentally drowning
C G
With the tide, slowly killing me inside
G F
Ooh whoa I'm mentally drowning
C G
In my mind, it’s time to leave it far behind
[Oohs]
G Em6 Am9 G
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
G Em6 Am9 G
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
[Ending]
G Em6 Am9 G
Sinking sinking sinking away
G Em6 Am9 G
I'm sinking sinking sinking away
