You've thrown yourself
         A                               C#m
Into the flames 'cause you're covered in cold
                   F#
But these are your friends
                A
They give out a nice warm glow

I've seen this before in my own life
    C#m                F#                  
You feel covered up, removed from the world around you
A
With all your senses dulled you'd do anything to feel

You tried to help yourself, but you got it wrong

You're floating in space
