Intro   Dm    |   Bb |F    |   C/E||x2
Verse 1
   Dm            Bb           F
I awoke only to find my lungs empty
      C/E       Dm            
And through the night
            Bb          F
So it seems I'm not breathing
    C/E     Dm                Bb              F
And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
         C/E     Dm                Bb        F 
And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down
    C/E   Dm                   Bb         F
And I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me
C/E Dm         Bb          F
Such as living with the uncertainty
C/E      Dm                       Bb        
That I'll never find the words to say
             F            C/E
Which would completely explain
 Dm         Bb          F         C/E  N.C.
Just how I'm breaking down
Chorus
Dadd4(9)          Dm                Bb
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
            Dadd4(9)           Dm      
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead 
                       Bb
But now it's like the night is taking sides
    Dadd4(9)              Dm          Bb
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
        Dadd4(9)      Dm             Bb
Could it be this misery will suffice?
Int   Dm    |   Bb |F    |   C/E||x2
Verse 2  [Gordon Downie]
(C/E)  Dm               Bb          F
I've become a simple souvenir of someone's kill
    C/E     Dm                  Bb            F          C/E
And like the sea I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
 Dm                         Bb              F                 C/E
Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole
    Dm       Bb         F    C/E  N.C.
Oh, how I'm breaking down
Chorus
Dadd4(9)          Dm                Bb
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
           Dadd4(9)           Dm      
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead 
                       Bb
But now it's like the night is taking sides
     Dadd4(9)             Dm         Bb
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
        Dadd4(9)      Dm            Bb
Could it be this misery will suffice?
            Dadd4(9)
Ooohhh my life
