[C#m]
[E]
[C#m] I'll 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 [E] that 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
There [G] 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] It'd been when I
[A]
Realized how far was part of [C#m] mine
I [A] watched myself settle down
[C#m] Into a [A] piece of cancer
She got it [C#m] fine
And I'm so [E] ready to be fine
[D] I've [G] thrown away [D] the hope [G] I had in friendships
[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, it'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 down
[Bm] 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]
[D] [G]
[Bm] [G]
[D] Give me [G]
hope
[D] And [G] hope it gives [D] me life
[G] You touch my heavy heart
And when you do, you [D] make it light
[G] As [D] I exhale
I [G] [D] hear your [G] voice
And I answer [Bm] you
[D] Though I hardly make any noise
But [G] from my [D] lips
[G] The words I [D] choose to say Seem [G] pathetic
[Bm] But [G] it's a falling [D] man's prey
Cause [G] I [D] love you
[G]
[D] [G] God, I
[Bm] love [G] you
[D]
[G] [D]
[G] [D]
[G] [Bm]
[D]
[G] Life is [D] not worth living
[G] If only [D] because of you
[G] And when they say that [Bm] I am dead and gone
It [G] won't be further [D] from the truth
[G] [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 [A] far
Cause you'll be there
With open [C#m] arms
[A] [E] So lift me up [C#m] again
[A] [E] So lift me up [D] again
