Chords

[Intro] D A E A [Verse 1]
A
I took my first drink

            D
The second I awoke

                   A                                   E    E7
And as my head began to sink, I felt that my heart just broke

A
I fall to my knees

               D
What else can I do?

               A          E7           A
I'm praying to God but I'm calling for you
[Chorus]
  D                           A
I swear that I've tried everything but suicide

D                       A
And every day is still the same

    D                  A
With each new tear the same old pain is here

   B7                                  E   E7
Oh death, you'll have so little left to claim

  A                                     D
I stare in the mirror at a man I hardly knew

               A          E            A
I'm praying to God but I'm calling for you
[Instrumental] D A E A A7 [Chorus]
  D                           A
I swear that I've tried everything but suicide

D                       A
And every day is still the same

    D                  A
With each new tear the same old pain is here

   B7                                  E   E7
Oh death, you'll have so little left to claim

  A                                     D
I stare in the mirror at a man I hardly knew

               A          E            A
I'm praying to God but I'm calling for you

               A        E                A
I'm praying to God but I keep calling for you
