Verse 1DmBbF
I awoke only to find my lungs empty
C/EDm
And through the night
BbF
So it seems I'm not breathing
C/EDmBbF
And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
C/EDmBbF
And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down
C/EDmBbF
And I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me
C/EDmBbF
Such as living with the uncertainty
C/EDmBb
That I'll never find the words to say
FC/E
Which would completely explain
DmBbFC/E N.C.
Just how I'm breaking down
Chorus
Dadd4(9) DmBb
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) DmBb
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
Dadd4(9) DmBb
Could it be this misery will suffice?

Verse 2 [Gordon Downie]
(C/E)DmBbF
I've become a simple souvenir of someone's kill
C/EDmBbFC/E
And like the sea I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
DmBbFC/E
Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole
DmBbFC/E N.C.
Oh, how I'm breaking down
Chorus
Dadd4(9) DmBb
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) DmBb
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
Dadd4(9) DmBb
Could it be this misery will suffice?
Dadd4(9)
Ooohhh my life
