Dadd4add9 = x54030 [Intro] |Em | C |G | D/F#| x2 [Verse 1]
   Em            C           G
I awoke only to find my lungs empty

      D/F#       Em
And through the night

            C          G
So it seems I'm not breathing

    D/F#     Em                C              G
And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be

         D/F#     Em                C        G
And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down

    D/F#   Em                   C         G
And I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me

D/F# Em         C          G
Such as living with the uncertainty

D/F#      Em                       C
That I'll never find the words to say

             G            D/F#
Which would completely explain

 Em         C          G         D/F#  N.C.
Just how I'm breaking down
[Chorus]
Dadd4add9         Em                C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life

            Dadd4add9          Em
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead

                       C
But now it's like the night is taking sides

    Dadd4add9             Em          C
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind

        Dadd4add9     Em             C
Could it be this misery will suffice?
[Interlude] |Em | C |G | D/F#| x2 [Verse 2] (Gordon Downie)
(D/F#)  Em               C          G
I've become a simple souvenir of someone's kill

    D/F#     Em                  C            G          D/F#
And like the sea I'm constantly changing from calm to ill

 Em                         C              G                 D/F#
Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole

    Em       C         G    D/F#  N.C.
Oh, how I'm breaking down
[Chorus]
Dadd4add9         Em                C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life

           Dadd4add9           Em
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead

                       C
But now it's like the night is taking sides

     Dadd4add9            Em         C
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind

        Dadd4add9     Em            C
Could it be this misery will suffice?

            Dadd4add9
Ooohhh my life
[Solo] (Dadd4add9) |Em |C | | x4 |Em | C |G | D/F#| |Em | C |G | D/F# N.C. | [Outro]
Dadd4add9          Em                C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)

Dadd4add9          Em                C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)

Dadd4add9          Em                C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life

Dadd4add9             Em           C
Could it be this misery will suffice?
