Intro:

D  A  F#m E


Verse 1:
D
Growing up, I never had a lot of money
A
Never had a phone, always was a little hungry
         F#m
Used to find it hard to sleep

When i could hear my mother sobbing
       E
I was 10 back then, I didnt have a room

Had to buy used shoes
               A
I hid behind tunes to avoid abuse
                  F#m
And everytime I fell, I would blame it on myself
                    E
Even if it was an accident

Pre-Chorus:
  D                    A
Maybe, its not what I want
                      F#m                           E
Oh, I've seen better days, and the moment fucking sucks
      D                         A                     F#m
But I'll be damned if I don't stop, and, honestly, why not?
                     E
When nobody gives a fuck?

Chorus:
                              D    A
Sometimes I just can't help myself
                   F#m                      E
I wanna give up trying and start doing somеthing else
                            D    A
Sometimеs I just get overwhelmed
                    F#m                           E
I know it's in my mind, but I think I need some help

Verse 2:
                         D
Sometimes I just can’t help myself

I was an outcast
  A
Thrown out to dry and get laughed at
  F#m
Too shy to talk about home
 E
I always thought life was supposed to be cold
      D                 A
And, oh, I’ve been so lost without hope
 F#m
I got a window in my head, it’s a casket
 E
You know I've been wishing I was dead, but I mask it

Pre-Chorus:
   D                    A
Maybe, it's not what I want
                      F#m                           E
Oh, I've seen better days, and the moment fucking sucks
              D                  A                    F#m
But I'll be damned, if I don't stop, and, honestly, why not?
                     E
When nobody gives a fuck?

Chorus:
                        D         A
Sometimes I just can't help myself
                   F#m                       E
I wanna give up trying and start doing something else
                          D      A
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
                    F#m                          E
I know it's in my mind, but I think I need some help

Bridge:
              D
Because it’s all I know
            A
My hands around my throat
             F#m                     E
Pray that I won’t let go this time around
             D                           A
But every single time I try to shut my eyes
             F#m                  E
I see the reason why I’m not alone

Chorus:
                   D
Sometimes I just can’t
                         D         A
Sometimes I just can't help myself
                  F#m                             E
I wanna give up trying and start doing something else
                          D      A
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
                   F#m                            E
I know it’s in my mind, but I think I need some help
                               A
Sometimes I just can’t help myself
