Wishing Well

C Dm Am F C


Am                        F  C
Waiting for the exhale
          Am                                     F  C
I toss my pain with my wishes in a wishing well


[Chorus]
        C        Dm                  Am
I can't breathe, I'm waiting for the exhale
        F                   C
Toss my pain with my wishes in a wishing well
         C  Dm     Am
Still no luck, but oh well
        F                          C
I still try even though I know I'm gon' fail
Am
Stress on my shoulders like a anvil
F                           C
Perky got me itching like a anthill
      Am
Drugs killing me softly, Lauryn Hill
    F                  C
Sometimes I don't know how to feel


[Verse 1]
     C     Dm              Am
Ring-ring, phone call from depression
            F                         C
You used my past and my memories as a weapon
       C           Dm        Am
On the other line, I talk to addiction, huh
F                              C
Speaking of the devil, all the drugs, I miss them
Am
This can't be real, is it fiction?
F                              C
Somethin' feels broke, need to fix it
Am
I cry out for help, do they listen?
F                        C
I'ma be alone until it's finished


[Pre-Chorus]
Am                                                  F
This is the part where I tell you I'm fine, but I'm lying
             C
I just don't want you to worry
Am                                                F
This is the part where I take all my feelings and hide 'em
                      C
'Cause I don't want nobody to hurt me


[Chorus]
        C        Dm                  Am
I can't breathe, I'm waiting for the exhale
        F                   C
Toss my pain with my wishes in a wishing well
         C  Dm     Am
Still no luck, but oh well
        F                          C
I still try even though I know I'm gon' fail
Am
Stress on my shoulders like a anvil
F                           C
Perky got me itching like a anthill
      Am
Drugs killing me softly, Lauryn Hill
    F                  C
Sometimes I don't know how to feel



[Verse 2]
    C     Dm           Am
Sometimes I don't know how to feel
      F
Let's be for real
      C                              C       Dm
If it wasn't for the pills, I wouldn't be here
              Am                          F        C
But if I keep taking these pills, I won't be here, yeah
                     Am
I just told y'all my secret, yeah
                   F   C
It's tearing me to pieces
                 Am
I really think I need them
  F                            C
I stopped taking the drugs and now the drugs take me


[Pre-Chorus]
Am                                                  F
This is the part where I tell you I'm fine, but I'm lying
             C
I just don't want you to worry
Am                                                F
This is the part where I take all my feelings and hide 'em
                      C
'Cause I don't want nobody to hurt me


[Chorus]
        C        Dm                  Am
I can't breathe, I'm waiting for the exhale
        F                   C
Toss my pain with my wishes in a wishing well
         C  Dm     Am
Still no luck, but oh well
        F                          C
I still try even though I know I'm gon' fail
Am
Stress on my shoulders like a anvil
F                           C
Perky got me itching like a anthill
      Am
Drugs killing me softly, Lauryn Hill
    F                  C
Sometimes I don't know how to feel
