G#m E F#
Do you spend your days counting the hours you're awake?
G#m E F#
And when night covers the sky you find yourself doing the same
G#m E F#
It's a burden you've been bearing in spite of all your prayers
G#m
As a light turns off inside your heart
E F#
Can you remember what it's like to care?
D#m F#
Knees are weak, hands are shaking, I can't breathe
G#m
So give me the drug, keep me alive
E
Give me what's left of my life
B F#
But let me go, whooaa
G#m
Pull this plug, let me breathe
E
On my own, I'm finally free
B F#
And let me go, whooaa
G#m
G#m E F#
The trail of crumbs you left somehow got lost along the way
G#m E F#
If you never meant to leave then you only had to stay
G#m E F#
But the memories that haunt us are cherished just the same
G#m E F#
As the words that bring us closer to the sky
D#m F#
No matter how I pray that I fall through these clouds
Leaves me screaming....
G#m
So give me the drug, keep me alive
E
Give me what's left of my life
B F#
But let me go, whooaa
G#m
Pull this plug, let me breathe
E
On my own, I'm finally free
B F#
And let me go, whooaa

This grip loosens but it never breaks
(NEVER BREAKS!)
F# E
We carry nothing but a name you will forsake
G#m E
Your words are always there to break my fall
(BREAK MY FALL!)
F# E
And I might find the comfort to see through it all
G#m E
Guide me through unchartered waters
F# E
Before we lose our way again
G#m E F#
Will you be my compass until forever?
E
Until forever ends!?
D#m F#
Knees are weak, hands are shaking, I can't breathe
G#m
So give me the drug, keep me alive
E
Give me what's left of my life
B F#
But let me go, whooaa
G#m
Pull this plug, let me breathe
E
On my own, I'm finally free
B F#
To let me go, whooaa

So let me go, whooaa
So let me go, whooaa
