Verse 1:
     A#                  G#        Cm
This life feels like a battle
A#           G#          Cm
One that I can't win
              A#                     G#        Cm
It's like I'm swimmin' against the current
         A#                    G#     Cm
Like I'm runnin' against the wind
              A#          G#      Cm
It's like I'm going overboard
        A#                 G#
With an anchor 'round my waist
       Cm                  A#
I lie awake at night with tears in my eyes
   G#
My heart beatin' out of my chest
           Cm                        A#
There's no light at the end of this tunnel I'm in
    G#
I'm callin' for an SOS

Chorus:
                     Cm  A#    G#
Somebody help me I'm
drownin'
                             Cm  A#    G#
I can't tread much longer I'm
fightin'
G#
To keep my head above water
Cm                     A#
Throw me a line, show me a sign
G#
Everything'll be alright
                      Cm  A#    G#
'Cause I feel like I'm
drownin'

Verse 2:
         A#                   G#         Cm
I try to see thе world's true colors
            A#                   G#     Cm
But they're all just shadеs of gray
         A#             G#       Cm
And it's only getting duller
A#              G#    Cm
Every passing day
               A#       G#      Cm
And the more I fake a smile
    A#                  G#
The more I'm bound to break
           Cm                  A#
I've never felt so alone in a crowd full of folks
    G#
I'm tryin' just to hide the pain
            Cm                     A#
It's just a matter of time 'til I can't see the light
      G#
And I hit rock bottom again


Chorus:
                     Cm  A#    G#
Somebody help me I'm
drownin'
                             Cm  A#    G#
I can't tread much longer I'm
fightin'

To keep my head above water
Cm                     A#
Throw me a line, show me a sign
G#
Everything'll be alright
                      Cm  A#    G#
'Cause I feel like I'm
drownin'
G#
Somebody help me out

 But it goes to show

To lend a helpin' hand
Fm                       A#                       D#
 But if I can find just one way to stay afloat

I'll find my way back to shore again
