[Intro]
Am G F Am G F Am

[Verse 1]
     G
This life feels
       F       Am
like a battle
G          F
One that I can't
    Am
win
It's like I'm
G
swimmin'
against the
F       Am
current
         G
Like I'm runnin'
against
    F    Am
the wind
It's like I'm
G
going
    F     Am
overboard
        G
With an anchor '
         F
round my waist
       Am
I lie awake at
night with
G
tears in my eyes
   F
My heart beatin'
 out
of my chest
           Am
There's no light
at the end of
     G
this tunnel I'm in
    F
I'm callin' for
an SOS

[Chorus]
Somebody help me
    Am G   F
I'm,   drownin'
I can't tread much
          Am G   F
longer I'm,  fightin'
F
To keep my head
above water
Am
Throw me a line,
     G
show me a sign
F
Everything'll be
alright
'Cause I feel like
   Am G   F
I'm,  drownin'
Somebody help me
    Am G F  Am G F Am
out

[Verse 2]
         G
I try to see thе
world's
   F        Am
true colors
But they're
G
all just
          F    Am
shadеs of gray
         G
And it's only
        F      Am
getting duller
G
Every passing
F   Am
day
And the more
  G
I fake
  F     Am
a smile
    G
The more I'm
bound
   F
to break
           Am
I've never felt
so alone in
  G
a crowd full of
 folks
    F
I'm tryin' just to
hide the pain
            Am
It's just a matter
 of
            G
time 'til I can't
see the light
      F
And I hit rock
bottom again

[Chorus]
Somebody help me
    Am G   F
I'm,   drownin'
I can't tread much
          Am G   F
longer I'm,  fightin'
F
To keep my head
above water
Am
Throw me a line,
     G
show me a sign
F
Everything'll be
alright
'Cause I feel
        Am G   F
like I'm,  drownin'
F
Somebody help me out

[Bridge]
Dm
 But it goes to show
There ain't always
        C
 a boat
   Em
To lend a
        Am
helpin' hand
Dm
 But if I can
find just
G
one way to stay
       C
afloat
     Em
I'll find my way
        Am
back to shore
    Em
again

[instrument]
Am G Em   Am G D

[Out-Chorus]
Somebody help me
    Am G   F
I'm,   drownin'
I can't tread much
          Am G   F
longer I'm,  fightin'
F
To keep my head
above water
Am
Throw me a line,
     G
show me a sign
F
Everything'll be
alright
'Cause I feel like
   Am G   F
I'm,  drownin'
        Am G   F
Lord I'm   drownin'
        Am G   F
Lord I'm   drownin'
