Intro: D A )(2x)
D
Build me up I’m breaking down
A
I’m tired of living underground
D A
Where depression tells me she’s the only way
D
And I have nothing left to lose
A
But I have nothing left to choose
D A
The bottle drinks the booze from me these days
E
Hold me through the dark of night
E
Before I kiss myself goodbye
D
I cannot scream, I cannot cry
A
I’ve lost all control of my mind
E Fm
Spinning out of time and out of sight
D
And my body aches and my heart it hurts
A
I’ve long found out that drugs don’t work
E Fm
Will someone save me from myself tonight
D
I’m tired of my ambitions
A
And I’m tired of my suspicions
D A
I’m so tired of knowing that I live a lie
D
Sweet tea and valium
A
Say one day I will marry them
D A
And we can live in champion disguise
E
Hold me through the dark at night
E
Before I kiss myself goodbye
D
I cannot scream, I cannot cry
A
I’ve lost all control of my mind
E Fm
Spinning out of time and out of sight
D
And my body aches and my heart it hurts
A
I’ve long found out that drugs don’t work
E Fm
Won't someone save me from myself tonight
E Fm
Won't someone save me from myself tonight
E Fm
Won't someone save me from myself tonight
D A E Fm
Won't someone save me from myself tonight
