Intro:
Em - C - G - GEm - C - GVerse:
GEmCGGEm
I awoke only to find my lungs empty and through the night
CGGEm
so it seems I'm not breathing and now my dreams
CG
are nothing like they were meant to be
GEmCG
and I'm breaking down, i think I'm breaking down
GEmCG
and I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me
GEmCG
such as living with the uncertainty
GEmC
that I'll never find the words to say
GGEmCGG
which would completely explain, just how I'm breaking down
Chorus:
GmEmC
someone come, someone come and save my life
GmEm
maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
C
but now it's like the night is taking sides
GmEmC
and all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
GmEmC
could it be this misery will suffice?
Interlude:
Em - C - G - GEm - C - GVerse:
GEmCGGEm
I've become a simple souvenir of someone's kill and like the sea
CGG
I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
EmC
madness fills my heart and soul
GGEm
as if the great divide could swallow me whole
CGG
oh how I'm breaking down
Chorus:
GmEmC
someone come, someone come and save my life
GmEm
maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
C
but now it's like the night is taking sides
GmEmC
and all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
GmEmC
could it be this misery will suffice?
