/Intro/
[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]
/Chorus/
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
/Verse 1/
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
/Pre-Chorus/
[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
/Chorus/
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
/Verse 2/
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
/Pre-Chorus/
[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
/Chorus/
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
