[Intro] 
(Play a bit with D)
[Verse]
D                         Am
Well I know, you couldn't love me
             G                     D
Cause you're promised to a wealthy man
       D                  Am
Take a look, what are you seeing?
   G                         D
Is that a noose or a wedding band
D                    Am
Should I go to see a healer
G                       D   
Nervous twitchin' in my head
C    G    D
Uh...
C       G              D
Nervous twitchin' in my head
[Chorus]
D                    A
God help me rid this feelin'
          G          C
Cause I'm fallin' to pieces
      G               
And i can't get out of bed
[Verse]
D
Beggars and hangers-on
D
Try to take you from me
D
Someone with a bible in his pocket
         C              G
Clouding everything you see
D
Beggars and hangers-on
D
They chip it away
D
Bury your soul in the river
          C              G
Cause the end is here to stay
[Instrumental]
C G D (x2)
[Chorus]
D                    A
God help me rid this feelin'
          G          C
Cause I'm fallin' to pieces
      G
And I can't get out of bed
[Instrumental]
C G D
[Verse]
D                   Am
I was wrong I don't need you
         G              D
It seems reckless and unfair
D                     Am
Better days are far behind me
      G                                 D
Guess that's another cross I'll have to bear
[Instrumental]
C G D
D Am G D (x2)
[Verse]
C                     G          D
I know that there's a time and a reason
C            G                     D
To take the ghost and lock it up inside
C              G                D
And maybe i am down but I'm not beaten
C                G            D
Like anything we were born to die
[Bridge]
D
Beggars and hangers-on
D
Try to take you from me
D
Someone with a bible in his pocket
             C           G
Clouding everything you see
D
Beggars and hangers-on
D
They chip it away
D
Bury your soul in the river
            C             G
Cause the end is here to stay
