Em

[Verse 1]
Em
  Another restless night has passed
Em
  What little sleep I had
                C
Was filled with bad dreams
           Em
Will you reveal the truth today?

[Bridge]
          Em
Because I messed it up
Em
Fucked it up
Em
Buggered up the thing we had
  Em
I blew it up
Em
Screwed it up
Em
Threw it out the window
    C                           Em
And now I’m here crawling on my knees

[Chorus]
Am                              Em
  This fear of failure pulls me down
C               Am            Em
  Like downward spirals in my mind
Am                                Em
  This constant pressure makes me drown, drown, drown, drown (ohohoh)
G                 Am                Em
  Feels like I’ve pushed my luck to long

[Verse 2]
Em
  Another sleepless night and I don’t know
Em
  How to get through - will my
C
greatest fears
             Em
Finally come true?

[Bridge]
       Em
Well I don’t know how to cope with that
          Em
‘cause my fear of failure throws me back
    C                           Em
And now I’m here crawling on my knees

[Chorus]
Am                              Em
  This fear of failure pulls me down
C               Am            Em
  Like downward spirals in my mind
Am                                Em
  This constant pressure makes me drown, drown, drown, drown (ohohoh)
G                 Am                Em
  Feels like I’ve pushed my luck to long

[Middle 8]
Em           C
  My whole existence
D      Em
  Is a failure
Em              Am
  This world is better off
   D      C
Without me
Em             C               D
  The greatest failure of your life
            Em
You say was me
Em           Am       D
  Now who am I to disagree?

[Chorus]
Am                              Em
  This fear of failure pulls me down
C               Am            Em
  Like downward spirals in my mind
Am                                Em
  This constant pressure makes me drown, drown, drown, drown (ohohoh)
G                 Am                Em
  Feels like I’ve pushed my luck to long

[Outro]
          Em
You say I messed it up
Em
Fucked it up
Em               Em
Threw it out the window
       Em
You’re right
