[Intro]
G Em G Em
[Verse 1]
G Em
When I'm down, really down
Cadd9 D
Nothing matters, nothing does
G Em
I close my eyes, go to sleep
Cadd9 D
But I can't sleep, I can't sleep
G C G D G
Please hear my cry for help, and save me from myself
G Em G Em
[Verse 2]
G Em
Junior high I lost my mind
Cadd9 D
I don't know why, it's a terrible thing
G Em
Since that day it's been a struggle
Cadd9 D
Trying to make sense out of scrambled eggs
G C G D G
Please hear my cry for help, and save me from myself
G Em G Em
[Verse 3]
G Em
I painted a bar and I never got paid
Cadd9 D
In a town where everyone was unemployed
G Em
I was locked in on Easter day
Cadd9 D
All I had to eat was a piece of bread
G Em
When I got home my mother said
Cadd9 D
"You're a lazy bum and that's how come
G Em
You suffer like that and you'll starve
Cadd9 D
All your life. All your life."
G Em
Spoken just like it was a curse
Cadd9 D
But it didn't really sound so bad
G Em
I like to make things up
Cadd9 D
It's the healthiest thing that I do
G Em
But I'm tired of being kidnapped
Cadd9 D
By a dark wolf that would do me in
G C G D G
Please hear my cry for help, and save me from myself
G Em G Em
[Bridge]
C D G
I'm just saying how I feel
C D G C
Maybe you could try to understand
G C G
I'm a man who needs you
[Verse 4]
G Em
When I'm down, really down
Cadd9 D
Nothing matters, nothing does
G Em
I close my eyes, go to sleep
Cadd9 D
But I can't sleep, I can't sleep
G Em
You can listen to these songs
Cadd9 D
Have a good time and walk away
G Em
But for me it's not that easy
Cadd9 D
I have to live these songs forever
G C G D G
Please hear my cry for help, and save me from myself
