This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

[1] Why does it feel like night today?

Something in heres not right today

Why am I so uptight today?

Paranoia's all I got left

I dont know what stressed me first

Or how the pressure was fed

But I know just what it feels like

To have a voice in the back of my head

It's like a face that I hold inside

A face that awakes when I close my eyes

A face that I wash everytime I lie

A face that laughs everytime I fall (it watches everything)

So I know that when its time to sink or swim

That the face inside is hearing me....Right inside my skin

[2] I know Ive got a face in me

Points out all the mistakes to me

You've got a face on the inside too

You're paranoia's probably worse

I dont know what set me off first but I know what I cant stand

Everybody lacts of the fact of the matter that I cant add up to what you can

But everybody has a face that they hold inside

A face that awakes when they close their eyes

A face that they wash everytime they lie

A face that laughs everytime they fall (it watches everything)

So you know when its time to sink or swim

That the face inside is watching you too....right inside your skin
