N.C. = Mute [Intro] C G Em Bm7 [Verse 1]

C
Growing up I never had a lot of money

G
I never had a phone

Always was a little hungry

        Em
Used to find it hard to sleep

When I could hear my mother sobbing

      Bm7
I was 10 back then

                C
I didn't have a room

Had to buy used shoes

             G
I hid behind tunes

To avoid abuse

                 Em
And every time I fell

I would blame it on myself

                  Bm7
Even if it was an accident

[Pre-Chorus]

C                     G
Maybe it's not what I want

                    Em
Oh I've seen better days

                       Bm7
And the moment fucking sucks

    C                         G
But I'll be damned if I don't stop

                   Em
And, honestly, why not

                    Bm7
When nobody gives a fuck

[Chorus]

                           C
But sometimes I just can't help myself

G                Em
 I wanna give up trying

                          Bm7
And start doing something else

                     C
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed

G                 Em
 I know it's in my mind

                        Bm7
But I think I need some help

[Verse 2]

                           C
Cuz sometimes I just can't help myself

                G
I was an outcast

                                    Em
Thrown out to dry and get laughed at

Too shy to talk about home

  Bm7
I always thought life was supposed to be cold

    C
And oh I've been so

G
Lost without hope

Em
 I got a window in my head, it's a casket

Bm7
You know I been wishing I was dead, but I mask it

[Pre-Chorus]

C                     G
Maybe it's not what I want

                    Em
Oh I've seen better days

                       Bm7
And the moment fucking sucks

    C                         G
But I'll be damned if I don't stop

                   Em
And, honestly, why not

                    Bm7
When nobody gives a fuck

[Chorus]

                           C
But sometimes I just can't help myself

G                Em
 I wanna give up trying

                          Bm7
And start doing something else

                     C
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed

G                 Em
 I know it's in my mind

                        Bm7
But I think I need some help

[Bridge]

             C
Because it's all I know

          G
My hands around my throat

            Em
Pray that I won't let go

             Bm7
This time around

          C
But every single time

         G
I try to shut my eyes

          Em
I see the reason why

          Bm7
I'm not alone

[Chorus] N.C. Sometimes I just can't

                           C
But sometimes I just can't help myself

G                Em
 I wanna give up trying

                          Bm7
And start doing something else

                     C
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed

G                 Em
 I know it's in my mind

                        Bm7
But I think I need some help

                       G
Sometimes I just can’t help myself
