D                         Am
Well I know, you couldn't love me

             G                     D
Cause you're promised to a wealthy man

       D                  Am
Take a look, what are you seeing?

   G                         D
Is that a noose or a wedding band

D                    Am
Should I go to see a healer

G                       D   
Nervous twitchin' in my head

C    G    D
Uh...

C       G              D
Nervous twitchin' in my head
[Chorus]
D                    A
God help me rid this feelin'

          G          C
Cause I'm fallin' to pieces

      G               
And i can't get out of bed
[Verse]
D
Beggars and hangers-on

D
Try to take you from me

D
Someone with a bible in his pocket

         C              G
Clouding everything you see

D
Beggars and hangers-on

D
They chip it away

D
Bury your soul in the river

          C              G
Cause the end is here to stay
[Instrumental] C G D (x2) [Chorus]
D                    A
God help me rid this feelin'

          G          C
Cause I'm fallin' to pieces

      G
And I can't get out of bed
[Instrumental] C G D [Verse]
D                   Am
I was wrong I don't need you

         G              D
It seems reckless and unfair

D                     Am
Better days are far behind me

      G                                 D
Guess that's another cross I'll have to bear
[Instrumental] C G D D Am G D (x2) [Verse]
C                     G          D
I know that there's a time and a reason

C            G                     D
To take the ghost and lock it up inside

C              G                D
And maybe i am down but I'm not beaten

C                G            D
Like anything we were born to die
[Bridge]
D

Bury your soul in the river

            C             G
Cause the end is here to stay
