G g/b c d
I'll wait for someone to tell me what I already know
G g/b c d
And I'll wait for my grip to fail me then I'll just let it go
Em d em d
She's so hard to please so I just freeze
Em d c bm7
Nailed down by whispers, looks and sighs
C d c d
And I'm so paralysed, I am so paralysed

G g/b c d
I wait for you to disown me when you leave I won't look
G g/b c d
I wait for someone to phone me with the phone off the hook
Em d em d
I get up to leave but I just deceive
Em d c bm7
You all the time pretending i'm
C d c f c
So paralysed I'm so paralysed
G f c g f c d
I'm so paralysed I'm just paralysed

G g/b c d
I wait for mistakes to happen so I can't put them right
G g/b c d
I wait for someone to latch on, but no-one's that bright
Em d em d
I say it can't be done, let's turn and run
Em d c bm7
Completely normal in my own eyes
C d
To be so paralysed

D g g/b c
Got the fear of falling from a great height
D g g/b c
Can't open my parachute stiff with fright
D g g/b c
I woke up naked in the high street
D g g/b c
With lead boots on both feet

F c g f c
I was paralysed I'm so paralysed
G f c d
I'm so paralysed
