Intro: Gb

Verse 1:
Gb                                 Bb
I'm holding my breath, holding so tight
                             Ebm
Nothing is wrong, nothing is right
                             Db
I'm in the dark, looking for light
                             Gb
Won't someone please save my life?
                                       Bb
Inside, I'm a mess, but I don't let it show
                                     Ebm
I'm just hanging on, but you'd never know
                                     Db
I smile all day, and cry through the night
                             -nc-
Won't someone please save my life is fleeting

Chorus:
Gb                     Bb
Dull knives taking my life
            Ebm                Db
a slow burn fire from the inside
Gb                       Bb
Dull knives twisting my spine
                         Ebm
And they're taking their time, time
               Db
'Til I lose my mind

Verse 2:
Gb                              Bb
a smoldering flame, deep in my heart
                             Ebm
Barely a sign, it's barely a spark
                          Db
Holding on through, every night
                             Gb
Won't someone please save my life?
                                    Bb
I'm crying for help, it's such a cliché
                                  Ebm
Invisible pain, it's filling each day
                               Db
I open my mouth and feed you a lie
                             -nc-
Won't someone please save my life is fleeting

No repeating

Chorus:
Gb                     Bb
Dull knives taking my life
            Ebm                Db
a slow burn fire from the inside
Gb                       Bb
Dull knives twisting my spine
                         Ebm
And they're taking their time, time
               Db
'Til I lose my mind

Bridge:
Gb     Bb
 Dull knives
Ebm
Ripping from the inside
Db
Spare me the ride

Instrumental: Gb Bb Ebm

Outro:
             Db
From the inside
Gb                       Bb
Dull knives twisting my spine
                         Ebm
And they're taking their time, time
               Db
'Til I lose my mind
     -nc-
Dull knives
