The Bottom chords by Daughtry

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: Em

Verse 1:
Em
  I had a reason I felt in my bones
                                              Am
I lost my grip and the darkness took ahold of me
      Em
Can't breathe (I think I'm suffocating)

I had the best of intentions 'til the fall

A downward spiral as far as I could go
   Am
So deep
        Em
Down so deep

Pre-chorus:
                      C    A
Buried underneath the stone
               Em
A name without meaning

A life with no feeling
             C   A
Left to die alone
                       Em
Well, the body's still breathing
                B
A soul that was bleeding

Chorus:
      C
I was dead and gone
Am          D
Lost and forgotten
       Em
Living like a ghost
        D
With no hope of crossing over
      C
I was down in a hole
       A                  D        Em
'Til I clawed my way back from the bottom

Verse 2:
Em
  I had a purpose, I let it go to hell
                                    Am
I use up every excuse to sabotage myself
               Em
I blame no one else (No one else)
                                C   A
And all the lies that I've been told
             Em
A kiss and a promise
                                    C   A
This beautiful garden turned to catacombs
                       Em
Well, the body's still breathing
                  B
My heart is still beating, yeah yeah

Chorus:
      C
I was dead and gone
Am          D
Lost and forgotten
       Em
Living like a ghost
        D
With no hope of crossing over
      C
I was down in a hole
       A                  D        Em
'Til I clawed my way back from the bottom

Bridge:
              Em
Back from the bottom
    G
Oh

Chorus:
      C
I was dead and gone
Am          D
Lost and forgotten
       Em
Living like a ghost
        D
With no hope of crossing over
      C
I was down in a hole
       A                  D        Em
'Til I clawed my way back from the bottom
     D
Ooh, oh-oh
      C
I was down in a hole
       A                  D        Em
'Til I clawed my way back from the bottom

Ooh, back from the bottom
              N.C.
Back from the bottom
