Verse 
Em                                            Am 
On my back, breathing heavy, staring at the light 
               C                               Em 
Praying this isn't the end, but pretty sure it might be 
                    G 
On my back, got my heart beating out of my chest 
Am         C 
I never thought, I can't believe that I'd go out like this 
 
Em 
 
Em                 Bm                          C 
So these are the walls that have to hold this moment 
            D 
I never expected to be here again 
Em            Bm                             C 
My vision is blurring as the light starts to fade 
        D              Em 
Please pull me out of this 
 
Verse 
Em                        Am 
My ribs are breaking, I swear, I'm only 23 
Am                          Em 
Crawling, searching for a lifeline I just can't reach 
C                              Am 
Somebody hear me, someone open up the door 
       Em                                  D           Am 
Get me up off of this floor and stop the shaking (the shaking) 
C 
The blood is boiling in my veins 
Am 
Oh God, the pain! 
        Em 
It's unrelenting 
                  D 
I'm ready for the end if it means that all of this will end 
 
Em                Bm                            C 
So these are the walls that have to hold this moment 
           D 
I never expected to be here again 
Em                             Bm 
My vision is blurring as the light starts to fade 
C        D      G       Em  C Em C Am 
Please pull me out of this 
 
Em C 
 
Bridge x2 
             Em 
Through the haze I saw a face, a second chance 
Another life to live 
C                   Am 
How did you forgive me? 
         Em 
Held my head against your chest 
                                        C 
Told me everything's alright, don't be afraid 
Em 
Close your eyes and rest 
 
Em                Bm                            C 
So these are the walls that have to hold this moment 
           D 
I never expected to be here again 
Em                             Bm 
My vision is blurring as the light starts to fade 
C        D      G       Em  C Em C Am 
Please pull me out of this
