Am    F    C    G

[Verse]
     Am
I'm broken
             F
Tell you I'm fine
                   C
But you wouldn’t believe me
If you Knew the things
                G
that crossed my mind
    Am
I'm hurting
              F
But I show no sign
                C
Because I'm afraid to give in
                         G       G
Break down, and waste your time

[Chorus]
One
Two
Three
   Am
Now I'm begging you
            F
To come and pull me out of the fire
             C
Come and save me
                            G
Like you did when we were young
   Am
Oh please come bring me out
        F
From my lowest
Take me higher
           C
Can you see me?
                            G
Through the ashes and the smoke?

[Verse]
    Am
I'm lonely
             F
It's been so long
            C
Since I felt love
               G
To smile, felt strong
               Am
And what can I do?
               F
When I'm not friends
with my reflection
             C
When I don't understand
                     G
affection like you do

[Chorus]
One
Two
Three
Am
I'm begging you
            F
To come and pull me out of the fire
             C
Come and save me
                            G
Like you did when we were young
   Am
Oh please come bring me out
        F
From my lowest
Take me higher
           C
Can you see me?
                            G
Through the ashes and the smoke?

[Verse]
    Am
You say that you'll help me
You tell me I'm worth it
     F
But I don't deserve it
I don't deserve it
        C
But It's easy for you
Cause you know your perfect
     G
And I need your hand
But I don't want to burn it
        Am
There's blood on the counter
Tears on the pages
         F
While I write you a letter
Then I  quickly erase it
        C
I'm shatter
I'm beat down
I'm broken
        G        G
Weak now

[Chorus]
   Am
So I'm begging you
   F
To pull me out the fire
     C
Come quickly
                       G        G
Cause I'm burning up inside
   Am
Oh please just bring me up
        F
From my lowest take me higher
          C
Can you see me?
                          G
Through the ashes and the smoke?

Pull me out
