E minorEm

Verse 1:
E minorEm
I've been running from something
E MajorE
That I could not see
   D MajorD
I was running from something
     A augmentedA
That was inside of me
   G+G  E minorEm
I've been running from something
     G+G    A augmentedA       E minorEm
That was hiding, waiting to be free

Verse 2:
E minorEm
I've been trying not to lose my grip
E minorEm
Trying to keep control
     D MajorD
I've been trying to win the battle
   E minorEm   A augmentedA
With my back against the wall
G+G     E minorEm             G+G
I've been trying not to let it slip away
    A augmentedA     E minorEm
I can't hold it anymore

Pre-Chorus:
E minorEm   A augmentedA
And my demon he was patient
                    E minorEm
Just wait 'till I have nowhere else to turn
    A augmentedA
And he knew my situation
A augmentedA
He was laughing as I burned

Chorus:
A augmentedA          E MajorE
And I cried out god help me
   A augmentedA       E MajorE
I got no one on my side
    A augmentedA    G+G  E MajorE
I'd get down on my knees
    A augmentedA     G+G
If you make it alright
  E MajorE    A augmentedA  G+G  E MajorE
And I cried out god help me
  A augmentedA    G+G   E MajorE

Verse 3:
E minorEm
I learned to keep my friends at arms length
E minorEm
And my enemies real tight
  G+G D MajorD
And I learned that when the night is cold
  C# minorC#m
The fire's still burning bright
  G+G   E minorEm
And I learned that when it hurt me
    G+G       A augmentedA      E minorEm
Was the only time that I could feel alive

Verse 4:
E minorEm
So I started feeling no pain
            F# minorF#m
Even when they broke my back
  G+G    D MajorD
And I headed down that empty road
  A augmentedA
And never looking back
  G+G      E minorEm      G+G
And I started to draw a single breathe before
 A augmentedA       E minorEm
Before I would attack

Pre-Chorus 2:
E minorEm    A augmentedA
I saw my demon in the mirror
A augmentedA
Looking back at me
          E minorEm
Right there in my eyes
   A augmentedA
And I couldn't walk away from him
A augmentedA
No matter how hard I tried

Chorus:
A augmentedA          E MajorE
And I cried out god help me
     A augmentedA      E MajorE
I got no one on my side
    A augmentedA     E MajorE
I'd get down on my knees
    A augmentedA       E MajorE
If you make it alright
      A augmentedA  G+G    E MajorE
And I cried out god help me
    A augmentedA       E minorEm
I'm running out of time
