Chorus:
    Ebm
I'm trying to make
   F#
it through each day
    C#
I'm falling apart
       G#
now in every way
    Ebm
I'm finding it
       F#
harder to get by
         C#
Theres a hole in my heart
      G#
And I dont know why
    Ebm             F#
Now I've come to realize

Outro:
    C#  G#    F#(hold)
I'm slipping away

Ending: Ebm--F#--C#--G# x2 Ebm--F#(hold)
