♫ Intro:


C G Em Bm7



♫ Verse 1:

C
Growing up I never had a lot of money
G
I never had a phone

Always was a little hungry
        Em
Used to find it hard to sleep

When I could hear my mother sobbing
      Bm7
I was 10 back then
                C
I didn't have a room

Had to buy used shoes
             G
I hid behind tunes

To avoid abuse
                 Em
And every time I fell

I would blame it on myself
                  Bm7
Even if it was an accident

♫ Pre-Chorus:
C                     G
Maybe it's not what I want
                    Em
Oh I've seen better days
                       Bm7
And the moment fucking sucks
    C                         G
But I'll be damned if I don't stop
                   Em
And, honestly, why not
                    Bm7
When nobody gives a fuck

♫ Chorus:
                           C
But sometimes I just can't help myself
G                Em
 I wanna give up trying
                          Bm7
And start doing something else
                     C
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
G                 Em
 I know it's in my mind
                        Bm7
But I think I need some help

♫ Verse 2:
                           C
Cuz sometimes I just can't help myself
                G
I was an outcast
                                    Em
Thrown out to dry and get laughed at

Too shy to talk about home
  Bm7
I always thought life was supposed to be cold
    C
And oh I've been so
G
Lost without hope
Em
 I got a window in my head, it's a casket
Bm7
You know I been wishing I was dead, but I mask it

♫ Pre-Chorus:
C                     G
Maybe it's not what I want
                    Em
Oh I've seen better days
                       Bm7
And the moment fucking sucks
    C                         G
But I'll be damned if I don't stop
                   Em
And, honestly, why not
                    Bm7
When nobody gives a fuck

♫ Chorus:
                           C
But sometimes I just can't help myself
G                Em
 I wanna give up trying
                          Bm7
And start doing something else
                     C
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
G                 Em
 I know it's in my mind
                        Bm7
But I think I need some help

♫ Bridge:
             C
Because it's all I know
          G
My hands around my throat
            Em
Pray that I won't let go
             Bm7
This time around
          C
But every single time
         G
I try to shut my eyes
          Em
I see the reason why
          Bm7
I'm not alone

♫ Chorus:
                 N.C.
Sometimes I just can't
                           C
But sometimes I just can't help myself
G                Em
 I wanna give up trying
                          Bm7
And start doing something else
                     C
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
G                 Em
 I know it's in my mind
                        Bm7
But I think I need some help
                       G
Sometimes I just can’t help myself
