Em                 
The accusations fly
Em                
Discrimination why
Em                    
Your inner self to die
          Em                      
Intruding Doubt sunk itself in you
Em                          
Its teeth and talons through
Em                                
You're living Catchminus twentytwo
         Gb

In vertigo you will be

E                          
■ Behind you hands are tied
           E         
Your being ostracized
             C7        
Your hell is multiplied
C7                            
Upending The fallout has begun
           C7         
Oppressive damage done
          C7            
Your many turned to none
C7        
To nothing
                Gb        
You're reaching your nadir
              Gb         
Your will has disappeared
           Gb           
The lie is crystal clear
Gb                    
Defending Channels red
Gb           
One word said
                                       Bb
Blacklisted With vertigo make you dead ■
