Intro G  D  A  F#m 
 
Verse 1:
 
G              D                A   F#m 
If I could, I would, I'd start again 
G               D          A 
But here I am again at 3 a.m. 
         D          G 
With a drink in my hand 
            D              A 
It's getting late and I am wasted
       G       D                 A    D 
If I could, I would, I'd start again 
 
Pre-Chorus
 
G                D 
Swear that the night got colder 
A              F#m 
Can't sleep on someone's shoulders 
G            D        A       G 
So tired of going nowhere 
 
 
 
D        A    D      G 
Fade me out Save me now 
D         A            D            G 
Pull me under Cause nobody wants me 
D        A        F#m     G 
Give me time And ease my mind 
D       A           D                
Be my brother Cause nobody wants me 
 
( G  D  A  F#m ) 
( G  D  A  F#m ) 
 
Verse 2:
 
    G              D                A   D 
We both know that I've seen better days 
G               D              A 
I could really use a friendly face 
A 
'Cause it's all that I have 
G             D                A    D 
I can barely breathe and I'm aching 
G           D              A  D 
It's bittersweet familiar days
 
Pre-Chorus
 
G                         D 
Swear that the night got colder 
A               F#m 
Can't sleep on someone's shoulders 
G             D      A     F#m  G 
So tired of going nowhere 
 
 
 
D        A       D  G 
Fade me out Save me now 
D         A                  D       G 
Pull me under 'Cause nobody wants me 
D         A           F#m  G 
Give me time And ease my mind 
D        A 
Be my brother 'Cause nobody wants me 
 
Bridge:
        G   D      A  F#m 
Don't leave me to die now 
G     D       A   F#m 
Teach me to fight 
        G   D      A  F#m 
Don't leave me to die now
