Verse 1

G C

Sometimes I don’t know who I am

D Em

Sometimes I don’t know what to say

G C

Sometimes I look up to the heavens

D Em

Pray the Lord will take me away

G C

Sometimes I don’t know where I’m at

D Em

Sometimes I don’t know where I’ve been

G C

Sometimes I look at my reflection

D Em

Till I don’t know who I’m looking at again

Chorus

G C

Somebody save me, me from myself

D Em

I’ve spent so long living in hell

G C

They say my lifestyle is bad for my health

D Em

It’s the only thing that seems to help

G C

All of this drinkin’ and smokin’ is hopeless

D Em

But feels like it’s all that I need

G C

Somethin’ inside of me’s broken

D Em G

I hold onto anything that falls under me

Verse 2

G C

Sometimes I don’t know what is wrong

D Em

Sometimes I don’t know what is right

G C

Sometimes I don’t know when I’m lying

D Em

Sometimes I don’t know when I’m telling the truth

G C

Sometimes I don’t know what I feel

D Em

Sometimes I don’t know what is real

G C

Sometimes I can’t tell if I’m healing

D Em

Or if I’m just getting used to the pain I feel

Chorus

G C

Somebody save me, me from myself

D Em

I’ve spent so long living in hell

G C

They say my lifestyle is bad for my health

Somethin’ inside of me’s broken

D Em G

I hold onto anything that falls under me

Bridge

C G

I push away the people who love me

D Em

I find a way to fuck up everything

C G

It’s like I woke up in the dark

D Em

In the middle of a nightmare

C G

And I keep tryin’ to scream

D Em

But I can’t make a sound

C G

And I keep tryin’ to run

D Em

But I keep fallin’ down

Chorus

G C

Somebody save me, me from myself

D Em

I’ve spent so long living in hell

G C

They say my lifestyle is bad for my health

D Em

It’s the only thing that seems to help

All of this drinkin’ and smoking is hopeless

D Em

But feels like it’s all that I need

G C

Somethin’ inside of me’s broken

D Em G

I hold onto anything that falls under me
