I've been searching for an exit

For a few minutes get me away from here
C Am Em D
For a few minutes wipe away my tears.

C
For I am lost right now as the ocean deep;
Am
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink.
Em
Yeah I am lost right now as the ocean deep;

[Refrão]C Am
It's like there's cancer in my blood

It's like there's water in my lungs

And I can't take another step

Please tell me I am not undone.

And I'm drowning from within

I can't take another breath

Please tell me I am not undone.
