G                         Am

   Do you ever feel       like a plastic bag

Em                                     C

     Drifting through the wind    Wanting to start again

G                           Am

    Do you ever feel,       feel so paper thin

Em                              C

    Like a house of cards    One blow from caving in

 

G                           Am

   Do you ever feel         already buried deep

Em                                      C

   Six feet under scream  but no one seems to hear a thing

G                                     Am

"Oh, oh, oh!"  You're gonna leave 'em fallin'

 Em                C

down-own-own

 

G                                    Am

     You don't have to feel        like a waste of space

Em                    C

    You're original   cannot be replaced

G                          Am

    If you only knew     what the future holds

Em                         C

    After a hurricane     comes a rainbow

 

G                                    Am     

   Maybe your reason why     all the doors are closed

Em                                      C

    So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road

G                            Am

   Like a lightning bolt   your heart will blow

Em                                           C

   And when it's time, you'll know  You just gotta
