E           Abm         A 
I could be daydreaming but for a moment 
and somehow they're creeping back in 
I could be sleeping and wake in a torrent 
somehow I get cought in their grips again 

            A  B      C#m    B 
and here I am in my shame spiral 
I'm sucked into it again 
and I reach out for your benevolent opinion 
           A          B      C#m    B   E 
and you bring the light back in.... ooooh 

E                B                    A 
don't leave me here with all these critical voices cause they 
do the best to bring me down, bring me down 
when I'm alone with all these negative voices I will 
need your help to turn them down, turn them round 

E           Abm         A 
I could be listening to a conversation 
a story I'm not even in 
these voices have their way when I am unguarded 
suddenly I step in quicksand again 

         A  B      C#m    B 
Once again in my shame spiral 
       A         B      C#m    B   E 
I am glad that you weigh in... ooooh 

E                B                    A 
don't leave me here with all these critical voices cause they 
do the best to bring me down, bring me down 
when I'm alone with all these negative voices I will 
E                B                    A        C#m 
need your help to turn them down, turn them round 

C#m           B      F#m   B 
All these judgements so incisive 
C#m      B      A      B 
voices left to their devices 
C#m   B         F#m      B        C#m 
this woman's neuroses a desperate plea 
      A          B      E B A           E B A       E 
for slack to be cut to me.... cut to meeeeeeee... oooh 

E                B                    A 
don't leave me here with all these critical voices cause they 
do the best to bring me down, bring me down 
when I'm alone with all these negative voices I will 
need your help to turn them down, turn them round
