♫ Verse 1:
A augmentedA
I took my first drink
      D MajorD
The second I awoke
          A augmentedA                  E MajorE  E7E7
And as my head began to sink, I felt that my heart just broke
A augmentedA
I fall to my knees
        D MajorD
What else can I do?
        A augmentedA     E7E7      A augmentedA
I'm praying to God but I'm calling for you

♫ Chorus:
 D MajorD              A augmentedA
I swear that I've tried everything but suicide
D MajorD            A augmentedA
And every day is still the same
  D MajorD         A augmentedA
With each new tear the same old pain is here
  B7B7                 E MajorE  E7E7
Oh death, you'll have so little left to claim
 A augmentedA                   D MajorD
I stare in the mirror at a man I hardly knew
        A augmentedA     E MajorE      A augmentedA
I'm praying to God but I'm calling for you
