[Intro]
Bb Gm x2
[Verse 1]
Bb Gm
There’s nothing good within me
Bb Gm Eb
If I’m honest
Bb Gm
And if I am honest
Bb Gm
There are times I will try
Bb Gm
To dress up all my darkness
Bb Gm Eb
And make it seem like it was light all along
Bb Gm Bb Gm Eb
But it’s a lie
[Verse 2]
Bb Gm
If truth be told I’m nothing
Bb Gm Eb
On my own
Bb Gm
The only thing I know for sure
Bb Gm
Is that I don’t know a thing
Eb
To be sure
[Chorus 1]
Bb Gm
And if you only knew
Eb
What I’ve been prone to do
F Bb
You’d run far and fast away from me
Gm
Oh God
Eb F
Hear my plea, ’cause all I see
Eb
Is this darkness that is buried
Bb Gm Eb Bb Gm Eb
Within me
[Verse 3]
Bb Gm
So darlin’ don’t dare trust me
Bb Gm Eb
If I say that I’m okay
Bb Gm Bb
If truth be told I do the things that I hate
Gm Eb
Oh every day anyway
[Chorus 2]
Bb Gm
So if ever I may think
Eb F
Myself to be more than a wretched man
Bb Gm
Forgive me, please don’t let me
Eb
Ruin myself once again
F Bb
With these chains that I cannot sever
Gm
I’ll do whatever it takes
Eb F
Just to make sure my head stays above
Eb Cm Gm Bb F Cm Gm Bb F
This water that is filling my lungs
[Bridge]
Cm Gm Bb F
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Cm Gm Bb F
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Cm Gm Bb F
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[Outro]
Bb Gm Eb
If only I could do the good I want to do
F Bb
I’d leave this place forever
Gm
And I would never
Eb
Turn back around
F
Just to fight this old war
Eb
Cause I’m broken and I’m begging for
N.C.
