F          G
I know you go undercover
Am                                       Am   G
You cross your fingers and say that you love her
F            G
I know that she isn't crazy
Am
She said that's just the way that you made me

F          G
Ego is a scary thing
Am         G
Power is a game to  win
                        F                G
Maybe if you keep your eyes closed, you might begin
    Am  Em/G C         D
To see that you're way over your head

Chorus:
Am        C
Your head, your head
F      Dm
You're in way over your head
Am        C
Your head, your head
F         Dm
Walk away, far away, it's better this way

I met you just at the right time
You were my best friend, but I was just part-time
And I saw you at the front door
And you knew that I wasn't myself anymore

You said confidence is a tricky thing
And I know that the line is thin
Maybe if you keep your eyes closed, you might begin
To see that it's all gone to your head

Chorus

Am
Ego is a scary thing
Power is a game to win
Maybe if you keep your eyes closed
You might begin
To see that you're way over your head

Chorus

Am  C         F     Dm
It feels like drowning
Am  C         F     D
It feels like drowning
Am  C         F     Dm
It feels like drowning
Am  C         F     D
It feels like drowning
