Verse 1:
G+G       E minorEm
 When I'm down, really down
Cadd9Cadd9       D MajorD
  Nothing matters, nothing does
G+G        E minorEm
 I close my eyes, go to sleep
Cadd9Cadd9         D MajorD
  But I can't sleep, I can't sleep
G+G        C majorC    G+G         D MajorD   G+G
Please hear my cry for help, and save me from myself

G+G E minorEm G+G E minorEm

Verse 2:
G+G      E minorEm
 Junior high I lost my mind
Cadd9Cadd9              D MajorD
   I don't know why, it's a terrible thing
G+G       E minorEm
 Since that day it's been a struggle
Cadd9Cadd9           D MajorD
Trying to make sense out of scrambled eggs
G+G        C majorC    G+G         D MajorD   G+G
Please hear my cry for help, and save me from myself

G+G E minorEm G+G E minorEm

Verse 3:
G+G         E minorEm
 I painted a bar and I never got paid
Cadd9Cadd9         D MajorD
In a town where everyone was unemployed
G+G        E minorEm
 I was locked in on Easter day
Cadd9Cadd9          D MajorD
  All I had to eat was a piece of bread
G+G        E minorEm
 When I got home my mother said
Cadd9Cadd9        D MajorD
  "You're a lazy bum and that's how come
G+G           E minorEm
 You suffer like that and you'll starve
Cadd9Cadd9      D MajorD
  All your life. All your life."
G+G        E minorEm
 Spoken just like it was a curse
Cadd9Cadd9           D MajorD
   But it didn't really sound so bad
G+G     E minorEm
 I like to make things up
Cadd9Cadd9         D MajorD
  It's the healthiest thing that I do
G+G      E minorEm
But I'm tired of being kidnapped
Cadd9Cadd9            D MajorD
  By a dark wolf that would do me in
G+G        C majorC    G+G         D MajorD   G+G
Please hear my cry for help, and save me from myself

G+G E minorEm G+G E minorEm

Bridge:
C majorC     D MajorD      G+G
I'm just saying how I feel
 C majorC   D MajorD     G+G      C majorC
Maybe you could try to understand
    G+G    C majorC  G+G
I'm a man who needs you

Verse 4:
G+G       E minorEm
 When I'm down, really down
Cadd9Cadd9       D MajorD
  Nothing matters, nothing does
G+G        E minorEm
 I close my eyes, go to sleep
Cadd9Cadd9         D MajorD
  But I can't sleep, I can't sleep
G+G       E minorEm
 You can listen to these songs
Cadd9Cadd9          D MajorD
  Have a good time and walk away
G+G      E minorEm
 But for me it's not that easy
Cadd9Cadd9            D MajorD
  I have to live these songs forever
G+G        C majorC    G+G         D MajorD   G+G
Please hear my cry for help, and save me from myself
