[Intro]
C G Am F

[Verse 1]
C                                 G                 Am               F
I’m going under and this time I fear there’s no one to save me
C                                      G                    Am                    F
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
C                            G                                      Am                                      F
I need somebody to heal, somebody to know, somebody to have, somebody to hold
C                                                        G
It’s easy to say but it’s never the same
Am                                                                          F
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain

C                                                        G
Now the day bleeds into nightfall
Am                                      F
And you’re not here to get me through it all
C                                                        G
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
Am                                                                          F
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

[Verse 2]
C                          G                                      Am                         F
I’m going under and this time I fear there’s no one to turn to
C                     G                                      Am                         F
This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you
C                                      G                                      Am                                                        F
Now I need somebody to know, somebody to heal, somebody to have, just to know how it feels
C                                                        G
It’s easy to say but it’s never the same
Am                                                                          F
I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape

Am                    Dm
I fall into your arms
Am                                                        G
I’ll be safe in your sound ’til I come back around

I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug

But now the day bleeds into nightfall
Am                                                           F
And you’re not here to get me through it all

I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
Am                    F                                                        C
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
