VERSE 2:
E5
With blankets wrapped around so tight
G#5
That in my dreams my hands are tied

Now I'm slow-mo running for the door
E5 G#5
I've got no clue where it leads, but my lungs need some air to breathe
C#5 A5
My eyelids shutter then fall to the floor
Here's the rest of the song up to the breakdown:
