Chords

Key: E minor (E F# G A B C D E) Tempo: 67-68 bpm Transcribed by Robert from Astlessons (which you can still use for strumming and structure even though it's for guitar) [Intro]: Em C G Gmaj7 x2
    Em            C       G
I awoke, only to find my lungs empty

     Gmaj7       Em           C              G
And through the night, so it seems I'm not breathing

   Gmaj7     Em                C              G
And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be

        Gmaj7     Em              C          G
And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down

  Gmaj7    Em              C             G
And I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me

Gmaj7 Em        C          G
Such as living with the uncertainty

Gmaj7      Em                      C             G             Gmaj7
That I'll never find the words to say which would completely explain

Em          C          G  Gmaj7
Just how I'm breaking down

Dadd4              Em               C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life

           Dadd4            Em                          C
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead, but now it's like the night is taking sides

    Dadd4                 Em          C
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind

        Dadd4        Em          C
Could it be this misery will suffice
[Interlude]: Em C G Gmaj7 x2
        Em            C         G
I've become a simple souvenir of someone's kill

   Gmaj7      Em                  C          G           Gmaj7
And like the sea I'm constantly changing from calm to ill

 Em                         C            G                      Gmaj7     Em
Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole

          C          G  Gmaj7
Oh how I'm breaking down

Dadd4              Em               C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life

           Dadd4            Em                          C
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead, but now it's like the night is taking sides

    Dadd4                 Em          C
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind

        Dadd4        Em          C
Could it be this misery will suffice, oh in my life
[Solo - part 1]: Dadd4 Em C x4 [Solo - part 2]: Em C G Gmaj7 x2
Dadd4              Em               C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)

Dadd4              Em               C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)

Dadd4              Em               C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life

        Dadd4        Em          C
Could it be this misery will suffice
