[1st verse]
   Am                   C               G                  Em
   Life it seems will fade away,        drifting further every day.
   Am                   C               G                  Em
   Getting lost within myself,          nothing matters, no one else.
   Am                   C               G                  Em
   I have lost the will to live,        simply nothing more to give.
   Am                   C               G
   There is nothing more for me.        Need the end to set__

   __me free            A          C       A     D5    E5

[2d verse]
   Am                   C               G                  Em
   Things not what they used to be,     missing one inside of me.
   Am                   C               G                  Em
   Deathly lost, this can't be real,    cannot stand this hell I feel.
   Am                   C               G                  Em
   Emptiness is filling me,             to the point of agony.
   Am                   C               G
   Growing darkness taking dawn,        I was me, but now__
   E                     A                     C
  
   __he's           gone____________

[3rd verse]
   D5 E5                        D5  E5      G5  F#5          D5
   No one but me                can save myself but it's too late
   D5  E5                       D5    E5       G5  F#5   D5
   Now I can't think,           think why I should even try.

[Bridge]
   D5 E5                        D5  E5      G5  F#5          D5
   Yesterday seems              as though it never existed
   D5  E5                       D5    E5       G5  F#5   D5
   Death greats me warm,        now I will just say goodbye.
