Intro:
Em

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

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

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

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

Interlude:
Em

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

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

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

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