[C]
[A] [F]
[D] [G]
[A] I've thought about it, [F] hell, about a million [D] times.
Bet based on my [G] friends, just to keep it [A] calm.
Well, I have to tell [F] myself it's bad just to [D] breathe.
Holding it [G] inside, only to have to do me [A] in.
Each time I go [F] mad, I feel another [D] strain.
It's one I can't forget, [G] something I cannot break [A] out of.
I need a second [F] chance, something to hold me [Dm] up.
Can't seem to get out [G] of this hold, I've stuck my toe out [A] back in.
[F]
[D] [G]
[A] Just awake, it [F] tells me, hell, I must be [D] brave.
It's ripping like [G] a drug, chugging to [A] my veins.
But it's not ever, [F] midlife or the [Dm] pain immobilizing me.
[G] Oh, I'm making a big process, [A] but I need that second [F] chance.
Something to hold me [Dm] strong, can't do it all by [G] myself.
I need something a little [A] more than wealth.
I've got that chance to [F] give, and the drop that's left of [D] me.
Well, I need that second [G] chance, something I cannot forget.
[Am]
[F] [G]
[Am] [F]
[D] [G]
[Am] I just tell [F] myself, girl, just let [D] it breathe.
It's the [G] calmness I'm searching [A] for.
The dirt and germs around [F] it, it falls from my [Dm] chest, creeping from under my [G] feet.
It just keeps on getting [A] deeper, and I need a [F] second chance.
Something to [Dm] hold me up, can't do it on my [G] own.
But now I've got me just a little more than [A] wealth.
I've got that chance to [F] give, and the drop that's [D] left of me.
I need that second [G] chance, something I cannot forget.
[Am]
[F] [G]
[C]
[F] [G]
[E] No one ever said it'd [F] be easy, no one left to [G] deny.
It's always been complete, the [C] unwillingness to [E] survive.
No, you know I won't stand up [F] again, I won't let you [G] defeat me.
You need a special [Am] strength, girl, I've got that second chance.
Yeah, I've got that chance to give, I've got the only way [F] to earn [G] [C] it.
Well, I need that second something to hold me to.
I need that second [F] chance, something [G] I cannot forget.
