A                  G             D 
I've been killing myself slow and steady 
A                            G                  D 
Killing myself and I don't know why 
                A 
I've been killing myself 
       G                   D           A 
And I'm not even ready to die

 
I go to so much trouble 
just to suffer and struggle 
Work, work, work 
Just to hurt, hurt, hurt 
I've been walking on a wire 
Getting higher and higher 
Man, I just looked down 
Down, down, down 
 
Chorus 
 
I've been wrapped so tight 
I can't sleep at night 
Listen to the clock 
Tick tick tock 
Well my dreams won't come 
I said my dreams won't come 
I've gotta change my ways 
Hey hey hey 
 
Chorus
