Capo 3, Standard Tuning

[Intro]
G+G E minorEm G+G E minorEm

[Verse 1]
G+G          E minorEm
There’s nothing good within me
    G+G
If I’m honest
G+G      E minorEm        G+G
And If I’m honest, there are times
G+G   E minorEm
I will try
G+G         E minorEm
To dress up all my darkness
      G+G        E minorEm
And make it seem like it was light
  C majorC
All along
But it’s a lie

[Verse 2]
G+G           E minorEm
If truth be told, I’m nothing
   G+G
On my own
G+G        E minorEm
The only thing I know for sure
        G+G  E minorEm
Is that I don’t know a thing
   C majorC
To be sure

[Verse 3]
G+G      E minorEm
If you only knew
        C majorC
What I’ve been prone to do
   D MajorD         G+G
You’d run far and fast away

From me, Oh God
E minorEm
Hear my plea
      C majorC
Cause all I see
    D MajorD
Is this darkness that is buried
    G+G
Within me

[Verse 4]
  G+G         E minorEm
So darling don’t dare trust me
   G+G    E minorEm
If I say I'm ok
  G+G        E minorEm
If truth be told, I do the things
    G+G
That I hate everyday
C majorC
Anyway

[Verse 5]
G+G       E minorEm
If ever I may think
     C majorC       D MajorD
Myself to be more than a wretched man
  G+G            E minorEm
Forgive me, and please don't let me
   C majorC              D MajorD
Ruin myself once again with these chains
       G+G
That I cannot sever
    E minorEm            C majorC
I'll do whatever it takes just to make sure
       D MajorD
My head stays above
   C majorC
This water that is filling my lungs

[Interlude]
A minorAm E minorEm G+G E minorEm
G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD x4

[Verse 6]
  G+G
If only I could do
      G+G
The good I want to do
           E minorEm
I'd leave this place forever
      C majorC
And I would never
     D MajorD               G+G
Turn back around just to fight this old war
      C majorC
Because I'm broken and I'm begging
