Am
I think I'm drowning
B
Asphyxiated
E
I wanna break this spell
F              G
That you've created

Am
You're something beautiful
B
A contradiction
E
I wanna play the game
F            G
I want the friction

Am        B      E        F G
You will be the death of me
Am        B      E        F G
You will be the death of me

F
Bury it
G                Am
I won't let you bury it
G                 F
I won't let you smother it
G                Am
I won't let you murder it

Chorus:
C            F
Our time is running out
G           Am
Our time is running out
C                 F
You can't push it underground
G                   Am        F G
You can't stop it screaming out

I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted

Now that you know I'm trapped
Sense of elation
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation

You will squeeze the life out of me

Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

Chorus:
C            F
Our time is running out
G           Am
Our time is running out
C                 F
You can't push it underground
G                   Am
You can't stop it screaming out
C                    Dm
How did it come to this?
           Am                        Dm
Oo-oo-ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
           Am                        Dm
Oo-oo-ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
           Am                       E
Oo-oo-ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

You will suck the life out of me

Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

Chorus
