Intro Em - C - G - G/F# - Em - C - G

 G/F#EmCGG/F#Em
 I awoke only to find my lungs empty and through the night
 CGG/F#Em
so it seems I'm not breathing and now my dreams
 CG
are nothing like they were meant to be
 G/F#EmCG
and I'm breaking down, i think I'm breaking down
 G/F#EmCG
and I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me
 G/F#EmCG
  such as living with the uncertainty
 G/F#EmC
that I'll never find the words to say
G G/F# Em C G G/F#**
which would completely explain, just how I'm breaking down

Chorus
 GMEmC
 someone come, someone come and save my life
 GMEm
maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
 C
but now it's like the night is taking sides
 GMEmC
and all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
 GMEmC
could it be this misery will suffice?

Em - C - G - G/F# - Em - C - G

 G/F#EmCGG/F#Em
 I've become a simple souvenir of someone's kill and like the sea
 CGG/F#
I'm constantly changing from calm to ill  
 EmC
madness fills my heart and soul
 GG/F#Em
as if the great divide could swallow me whole
C G G/F#**
oh how I'm breaking down

Play Chorus
