[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
