[Verse 1]
E                    C
Fill me up, pour me out
                         D
Wash her name out of my mouth
                 E
I am ready to be clean
E                            C
Burned my lungs and she was gone
                             D
Long before the lights went on
                            E
God, I hope she's done with me
 
 
[Verse 2]
E                   C
Do you beg, do you pray?
                     D
Tell me how you get away
                        E
From the voices in your head
E                     C
I am lost, I've been done
                            D
Long before the lights went on
                          E
Someone please put me to bed
 
 
[Chorus]
      C
Cause I,
Am       Bsus4#5/E
I am not well
        G                           C
And she knows, she knows, she knows how
   Am             E
To bend me to her will

[Verse 3]
E                    C
Calling out in the street
                           D
Have you got something for me?
                        E
There's a hunger to be fed
E                    C
There was ash in my mouth
                            D
Long before the lights went out
                               E
But I don't recall just what I said
 
 
[Verse 4]
E                     C
Do you gamble, do you bet?
                          D
Can you risk the love you have
                  E
For a temporary high?
E                     C
Shaking hands, it was done
                            D
Long before the lights went on
                     E
Did it leave you satisfied?
 
 
[Chorus]
      C
Cause you,
Am         Bsus4#5/E
You are not well
      G                       C
And I know, I know, I know how
   Am             Bsus4#5/E
To bend you to my will
      G                       C
Yeah, you know, you know, you know, I
Am       Bsus4#5/E
I am not well
      G                       C
And I'll give you what you want so
Am             E
Take what you will

 So come down

D               E
 Come down with me
E
 Fill me up
C
 Pour me out
D                 E
 I am ready to be clean
