STATE I'M IN

Lyrics & Music by John Phoenix.

Intro:
(Bm)-(Gmaj7)-(Asus2)-(Bm)-(Gmaj7)-(Asus2)
(Bm)-(G)-(Asus2)-(D)-(G)-(A)

Verse 1
(D)Sometimes it seems this (Csus2)stone-cold world
(G)Would love to see the (D)last of me.(G)-(D)
I tried so hard, and I (Csus2)failed so bad (G)with every oppor(D)tunity.
(G)-(D)I bet you now that (A7sus4)these four walls
(G)Conspire to close (F6)in on me.
(G)-(D)The windows, ceiling, (Csus2)doors and halls
(G)They breathe a lack of (D)sympathy.
(G)-(D)And so I, I (Csus2)lean on this
(G)Injected plastic (D)fortitude;
(C)-(D)Though its seeming (Csus2)promised bliss
(G)Leads to aching (D)solitude,
Woah, (Csus2)solitude! Yeah, yeah!(D)

Chorus 1
(Bm)And I feel the (A)fires come up, raging wi(G)thin-
Can't con(Em)trol the (A)state I'm (Bm)in!
Jumping at (A)shadows, am I going in(G)sane?
Lord, don't (Em)leave me a(A)lone with this (Bm)pain!
(Gmaj7)-(Asus2)-(Bm)-(Gmaj7)-(Asus2)

Verse 2
(D)And now it seems I'm (Csus2)at the end,
(G)But Jesus, can I (D)turn to You?
(C)-(D)Somehow, please, could I (Csus2)call You "Friend"?
(G)I need someone to (D)hold on to.
(G)-(D)Quench these fires of (Csus2)pain that burn;
(G)You'll see me change my (F6)attitude.
(C)-(D)And all these aching (Csus2)groans will turn
(G)To humble sounds of (D)gratitude,
Woah, (Csus2)gratitude! Yeah, yeah!(D)

Chorus 2
(Bm)'Round me the (A)night seems gloomy and (G)strange,
And it seems too (A)late to (D)change! Lost in the (Bm)darkness,
My spirit in (G)pain, (Em)help me, please ,(A)help me again!

Chorus 3
(Bm)And I feel the (A)fires come up, raging wi(G)thin-
I can't control this (A)state I'm (D)in!
Jumping at (Bm)shadows, am I going in(G)sane?
Please don't (Em)leave me a(A)lone with this (Bm)pain!
Jesus, help me to (A)change. [Help me to change.]
Won't You help me to (G)change?
Please, don't leave me a(A)lone with this (D)pain!
