WISHING WELL

[C] [Dm] [Am] [F] [C]

 

[Am]Waiting for the exhale [F] [C]

I toss my [Am]pain with my wishes in a wishing well [F] [C]

 

I can't [C]breathe, [Dm]I'm waiting [Am]for the exhale

Toss my [F]pain with my wishes [C]in a wishing well

Still no [C]luck[Dm], [Am]but oh well

I still [F]try even though I [C]know I'm gon' fail

[Am]Stress on my shoulders like a anvil

[F]Perky got me itching [C]like a anthill

Drugs [Am]killing me softly, Lauryn Hill

[F]Sometimes I don't [C]know how to feel

 

Ring-[C]ring, [Dm]phone call [Am]from depression

You used my [F]past and my memories [C]as a weapon

On the [C]other line, [Dm]I talk to [Am]addiction, huh

[F]Speaking of the devil, [C]all the drugs, I miss them

[Am]This can't be real, is it fiction?

[F]Somethin' feels broke, [C]need to fix it

[Am]I cry out for help, do they listen?

[F]I'ma be alone [C]until it's finished

 

[Am]This is the part where I tell you I'm fine, but I'm [F]lying

I just don't [C]want you to worry

[Am]This is the part where I take all my feelings and [F]hide 'em

'Cause [C]I don't want nobody to hurt me

 

I can't [C]breathe, [Dm]I'm waiting [Am]for the exhale

Toss my [F]pain with my wishes [C]in a wishing well

Still no [C]luck[Dm], [Am]but oh well

I still [F]try even though I [C]know I'm gon' fail

[Am]Stress on my shoulders like a anvil

[F]Perky got me itching [C]like a anthill

Drugs [Am]killing me softly, Lauryn Hill

[F]Sometimes I don't [C]know how to feel

 

Some[C]times [Dm]I don't [Am]know how to feel

Let's [F]be for real

[C]If it wasn't for the pills, I wouldn't [C]be here [Dm]

[Am]But if I keep taking these pills, I won't [F]be here, [C]yeah

I just told y'all my [Am]secret, yeah

It's tearing me [F]to pieces [C]

I really think I need [Am]them

I [F]stopped taking the drugs and now the [C]drugs take me

 

[Am]This is the part where I tell you I'm fine, but I'm [F]lying

I just don't [C]want you to worry

[Am]This is the part where I take all my feelings and [F]hide 'em

'Cause [C]I don't want nobody to hurt me

 

I can't [C]breathe, [Dm]I'm waiting [Am]for the exhale

Toss my [F]pain with my wishes [C]in a wishing well

Still no [C]luck[Dm], [Am]but oh well

I still [F]try even though I [C]know I'm gon' fail

[Am]Stress on my shoulders like a anvil

[F]Perky got me itching [C]like a anthill

Drugs [Am]killing me softly, Lauryn Hill

[F]Sometimes I don't [C]know how to feel
