Intro:
G*             Am*
There are three ways to see despair

I've seen them all, I'm scared to say

Can you save someone from the hidden depths

Can you save someone from the hidden depths

Of a darkened soul with no hope left

             E MajorE
But I pray that you'll be beautiful again

Refrain:
For this bit, if you're doing solo acoustic, it may sound better to do one loud chord and then very light
strumming in the background instead of just a single strum.
G*            Am*
I am as tired as John Lennon sang
G*              Am*
Conveying exhaustion like no-one else can
G*               Am*
I'm no longer the centre of the universe
Em*              Am*
A augmentedA bare admission that makes it seem worse
E minorEm               A minorAm
A augmentedA bare admission that makes it seem worse
E minorEm               A minorAm
A augmentedA bare admission that makes it seem worse

E minorEm
