[Intro]
D G Bm G

[Verse 1]
                        D
I don't know where I'm going
       G
And I don't know who I am
               Bm
And if I stop running
           G
Will the walls come crashing in
        D
But my heart is sick and tired
Of just getting along
          G
And like everybody else I'm
Not sure where I belong
         Bm
I'm not sure what
I've been chasing
         G
I'm not sure that I can face it

[Chorus]
                   D
I need someone to hold me
      G
Some help to come my way
                     Bm
Cause sometimes the weight
of being me
     G
Is more than I can take
                       D
And I need someone to love me
      G
Some help to come my way
                 Bm
Cause sometimes heaven
         G
Feels a million miles,
                   D G Bm G
a million miles away

[Verse 2]
                D
Cause I'm just trying
to find a rhythm
      G
Some life in these bones
             Bm
And keep my head above the water
           G
Cause I'm sinking like a stone
           D        G         A
When the highs all feel like lows

[Chorus]
                   D
I need someone to hold me
      G
Some help to come my way
                     Bm
Cause sometimes the weight
of being me
     G
Is more than I can take
                       D
And I need someone to love me
      G
Some help to come my way
                 Bm
Cause sometimes heaven
         G
Feels a million miles,
                   D G Bm G D
a million miles away

[Bridge]
          D
Cause my heart is sick and tired
Of just getting along
And like everybody else I'm
Not sure where I belong
     G
The night's been getting cold
Seems like the end of the road
       A
And I feel the weight of time
And all I know is

[Chorus]
                   D
I need someone to hold me
      Em
Some help to come my way
                     Bm
Cause sometimes the weight
of being me
     G
Is more than I can take
                       D
And I need someone to love me
      Em
Some help to come my way
                 Bm
Cause sometimes heaven
         G
Feels a million miles,
                   D G Bm
a million miles away
(Just when the highs
all feel like lows)
         G
Feels a million miles,
                   D G Bm
a million miles away
(Just when the highs
all feel like lows)
         G
Feels a million miles,
                   D
a million miles away
