   F   G        F      G
My pain is self-chosen
    F   G             F       G  F
At least, so the prophet says
        G           F
I could either burn
   G                            
Or cut off my pride and buy some 
 F
time
  G                        F
A head full of lies is the weight, 
tied to
    G    C  G
My waist
               C          G     C
The river of deceit pulls down, 
     G
oh oh
    C                              G
The only direction we flow is down
F        G
Down, oh down
F        G
Down, oh down
F        G
Down, oh down
F        G
Down, oh down

My pain is self-chosen
   F   G              F     G  F
At least I believe it to be
        G            F
I could either drown
   G                           
Or pull off my skin and swim to 
  F
shore
G                      F
Now I can grow a beautiful shell for
 all to
 G   C  G
See
               C          G     C
The river of deceit pulls down, 
    G
yeah
         C                         G
The only direction we flow is down
F        G
Down, oh down
F        G
Down, oh down
F        G
Down, oh down
F        G
Down, oh down
