_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] Sometimes I feel like just ending it all.
[G] Every step a broken leg, [Fm] every floor breaks a fall.
[C] [A#] I can't only not [C] see light, [Fm] I can't find the tunnel. _
[F] Life keeps giving me an uphill climb, without a ladder or a rope,
without a prayer or a hope.
I can't only not see light, I can't [C#] find the tunnel. _
_ [G] _ [C#] I can't find [Fm] my way.
_ _ Don't know if I'll see [C#] it tomorrow. _
_ [G] _ [C#] Or the [Fm] rest of today. _
_ _ I can't [C] raise my _ [C#m] head.
[G#] Maybe [C] I'm better off.

_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ Every time we try to step ahead, step ahead.
[G] There's a force that holds us down, holds us back, [Fm] keeps us in.
And I pray every day that things will take a turn.
[G] That tomorrow brings me [Fm] hope.
That today will slip away.
[C] I can't only not see [Fm] light.
I can't [C#] close my _ _ _ eyes.
I [Fm] have lost [A#] my _ _ way.
[Fm] Don't know about [C#] _ tomorrow.
_ _ Or the [Fm] rest of [A#] today. _ _
_ [Fm] _ I won't [C] raise my _ [C#] head.
[G#] So I'm [C] better off.

[A#m] Every step a shooting pain.
Every fall [C] breaks a fall.
I can't only not [C#] see light.
I'm better off. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ Better off.
[C#] So stick my body in the ground.
And find the priest and devil hung.
[Fm] And say [F] a little prayer to God.
Those of us on the side,
[C] I will never see [C#] the light.
And [C] I'm better off.
