[Intro: ]D G Em A D
D
When I was a boy
I didn't care 'bout a thing
G
It was me and this world and a broken dream
Em
I was blaming myself
A D
for all that was going wrong
D
I was way out there
on the wrong side of town
G
and the ones that I loved
I started pushing 'em out
Em
then I realised
A
That it was all my fault
[Refrão]
D
I've been looking for a lifeline
G
for what seems like a lifetime
Em
I'm drowning in the pain
A
breaking down again
D
looking for a lifeline
D
So I put out my hand
and I asked for some help
G
we tore down the walls I built around myself
Em
I was struck by the light
A
and I fell to the ground
[Refrão]
D
I've been looking for a lifeline
G
for what seems like a lifetime

I'm drowning in the pain
A
breaking down again
D
looking for a lifeline
D
Is there anybody out there?
G
Can you pull me from this ocean of despair?
Em
I'm drowning in the pain
A
breaking down again
D
looking for a lifeline
Bm
You know a heart of gold
A G
wont take you all the way
Bm
And in a world so cold
A G
its hard to keep the faith
D
Im never gonna fade away!
