Another pill as

I don't even
deserve the
father title,
Hailie,
I'm so sorry

 first
podcast, lookin'
 down,
sweetie
C
I'm so proud of
 how
 you turned out,

Sorry that I

love you enough

from this floor
wonder will

 seems to help

[Verse 3]
           C
I've been starin' at
that
 video of Hailie,
 almost daily of her
 playin' a guitar
   Em/B
In hopes maybe
that'll
give me the power
to fight
But the addict in
 me's a
 Am
coward, he told me
 that
 I can't do it
Had a second chance,
 blew it,
     Fmaj7
it's like I'm stuck
inside an
 alternate reality,
but I know (What?)
      C
I'll turn it around
and be
able to walk her and
Lainie one day
                Em/B
To the altar as proud
 as
can be, right now, I'm
just weak
                   Am
As I fall further down
in
this deep hole, and
farther in the ground
that I sink
As they lower me in my
Fmaj7
coffin, I feel the
tears all fallin' down
 on my cheek

[Outro]
       C
I'm a lost cause
            Em/B
Baby, don't waste
your time on me
        Am
I'm so damaged
beyond repair
          Fmaj7
Life has shattered
my hopes and my
dreams
       C
I'm a lost cause
            Em/B
Baby, don't waste
your time on me
        Am
I'm so damaged
beyond repair
          Fmaj7
Life has shattered
my hopes and my
 dreams

How to play Somebody Save Me: key, chords and progression

Somebody Save Me by Eminem keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 4 chords: C, Em/B, Am and Fmaj7.

Listen for C – Em/B – Am – Fmaj7 (I – iii – vi – IVmaj7 in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
