[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ I'll [C#m] _ _ _ tell you flat [E] out, it hurts so much to think of [C#m] this
_ _ _ So from [E] my thoughts I will exclude _ _ _
[C#m] _ The very _ thing [A] that [E] I hate more than everything [C#m] _ is
_ _ The way [E] I'm powerless _ to dictate my [D] own moods
I've [G] thrown _ away [D] so many things
[G] There could have been [D] much more and [G] I just pray
[D] My problems go [G] away if they're [E] ignored
_ But that's not the way [G] it works
[A] No, that's not the [D] way it works
_ _ When I go down, _ [Bm] _ I go down _ hard
[D] _ And I take everything [A] I've learned
And teach myself some [D] disregard
When I go down, _ [Bm] _ it hurts to hit the bottom
[D] And all the things that got me there
I [A] think if only I had fought _ [C#m] them _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ If anyone _ _ [A] knew my suffering started [C#m] _ mine _
_ _ I'll [A] get myself settled up _ _ [C#m] _ _ into _ a _ [A] _ _ peace camp
Which we had in [C#m] _ _ _
mind, and so [B] _ [E] ready _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ I've [G] thrown _ away [D] _ the hope [G] I had in friendship
[D] _ _ I've [G] thrown _ away [D] so many things
[G] There could have been [D] much more
I've [G] thrown _ away [D] the secret to [G] finding an end to [D] this
_ And [G] I just pray [D] my problems go [G] away if they're [E] ignored _ _
But that's not the way [G] it works _
[A] No, that's not the way [D] it works _
_ When I go down, _ _
[Bm] _ I go _ _ _ [G] down hard
And I take everything [A] I've learned
And teach myself some [D] disregard
When I go _ _ _
[Bm] down, it hurts to hit the [D] bottom
And all the things that got me there
I [A] think if only I had fought them
[Bm] _ _ Any [A] control I thought [D] I _ had
Just slips right through [A] my hands
While my ever-present [D] _ conscience
Shakes its head and [Em] reprimands _ me _ _ _
[A] Reprimands _ me
_ Then [D] and there, _ _ _ I [G] confess
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
I'll blame all this on my _ _ _ selfishness
_ _ Yeah, you love _ _ me
And that consumes _ _ me _
And I'll stand up again
If you so willingly
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ Give [G] me hope
[D] _ And _ [G] hope it [D] keeps me _ [G] alive
I touch my heavy heart
And when I do, you make [D] it light
_ [G] _ As [D] I exhale, _ _ [G] I hear your voice
And I answer [Bm] _ you [D] with a heartbeat with noise
And from [G] my [D] lips, _ _ _
[G] the words I [D] choose to say
It may seem [G] pathetic
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] But it's a falling [D] _ misplaced
Cause I [G] _
[D] love _ you
_ [G] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] God, I _ _
[Bm] love _ _ [G] you
_ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [G] Life [D] is not worth living
_ [G] If only [D] because of you
And [G] when they say [Bm] that I am dead and gone
It [G] won't be further from [D] the truth _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
When I go down
_ _ [Bm]
I lift my eyes to [G] you
I won't look very far
[A] Cause you'll be _ there
With open [C#m] _ _ _ arms _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [E] _ So lift me up [C#m] _ again
_ _ So _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] lift me up [D] again
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
