I can’t take this feeling anymore

Drain the pressure from the swelling

D5                    A5    

The sensation’s overwhelming

Give me a kiss goodnight and everything will be alright

tell me that I wont feel a thing

So give me Novacaine

A                      F#m

Out of body and out of mind

Kiss the demons out of my dreams

I get the funny feeling, that's alright

Bm                         E

Jimmy says its better than air

I'll tell you why

Chorus

A5 x4
