[Em] [C] [G] [D]
[Em] [C] [G]
[Em] I awoke only to [G] find my lungs empty
And [Em] through the night, so it seems [G] I'm not breathing
[D] And [Em] now my dreams are nothing [G] like they were meant to be
And I'm [Em] breaking down, I think [G] I'm breaking down
And [Em] I'm afraid to sleep [G] because of what haunts me
[D]
[Em] Such as living with [G] the uncertainty
That [Em] I'll never find the [C] words to [G] say which would completely [Em] explain
Just how [G] I'm breaking down
[D] Someone [Em] come and, someone [C] come and save my life
Maybe [G] I'll sleep [Em] when I am dead
But [C] now it's like the night is taking its toll
[D] [Em] All the worries that occupy [C] the back of my mind
[D] Could it [Em] be this is a brief [C] response?
I've
[Em] [G]
[Em] [G]
[Em] become a simple [G] souvenir of someone's kill
[D] And [Em] like the sea, I'm constantly [G] changing from calm to ill
[Em] Madness fills my heart and [G] soul as if the great divide could swallow [Em] me whole
Oh, how I'm [G] breaking down
[D]
Someone [Em] come and, someone [C] come and save my life
Maybe [D] I'll [Em] sleep when I am dead
But [C] now it's like the night is taking its toll
[D] All the [Em] worries that occupy [C] the back of my mind
[G] Could it be [Em] this is a brief [C] response?
[G] [Em] [C]
[D] [Em] [C]
[D] [Em] [C]
[G] [Em] I've [C] become a simple souvenir [Em] of someone's kill
And [G] like the sea, [Em] I'm constantly changing [C] [G]
[D] from calm to ill
Someone [Em] come and, someone [C] come and save my life
[D] Someone [Em] come and, someone [C] come and save my life
Someone [D] [Em] come and, someone [C] come and save my life
[D] Could it be [Em] this misery [C] will suffice?
