[Intro]
D A F#m
E6
[Verse 1]
D
Growing up I never had a lot of money
A
I never had a phone
Always was a little hungry
F#m
Used to find it hard to sleep
When I could hear my mother sobbing
E6
I was ten back then
D
I didn't have a room
Had to buy used shoes
A
I hid behind tunes
To avoid abuse
F#m
And every time I fell
I would blame it on myself
E6
Even if it was an accident
[Pre-Chorus]
D A
Maybe it's not what I want
F#m
Oh, I've seen better days
E6
And the moment fucking sucks
D A
But I'll be damned if I don't stop
F#m
And, honestly, why not
E6
When nobody gives a fuck
D
But sometimes I just can't help myself
[Chorus]
A F#m
I wanna give up trying
E6
And start doing something else
D
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
A F#m
I know it's in my mind
E6
But I think I need some help
D
'Cause sometimes I just can't help myself
[Verse 2]
A
I was an outcast
Thrown out to dry and get laughed at
F#m
Too shy to talk about home
E6
I always thought life was supposed to be cold
D
And, oh, I've been so
A
Lost without hope
F#m
I got a window in my head, it's a casket
E6
You know I been wishing I was dead, but I mask it
[Pre-Chorus]
D A
Maybe it's not what I want
F#m
Oh, I've seen better days
E6
And the moment fucking sucks
D A
But I'll be damned if I don't stop
F#m
And, honestly, why not
E6
When nobody gives a fuck
D
But sometimes I just can't help myself
[Chorus]
A F#m
I wanna give up trying
E6
And start doing something else
D
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
A F#m
I know it's in my mind
E6
But I think I need some help
D
Because it's all I know
[Bridge]
A
My hands around my throat
F#m
Pray that I won't let go
E6
This time around
D
But every single time
A
I try to shut my eyes
F#m
I see the reason why
E6
I'm not alone
But sometimes I just can't
D
But sometimes I just can't help myself
[Chorus]
A F#m
I wanna give up trying
E6
And start doing something else
D
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
A F#m
I know it's in my mind
E6
But I think I need some help
A
Sometimes I just can't help myself
[Outro]
I think we got it
Growing up I never had a lot of money
I never had a phone
Always was a little hungry
Used to find it hard to sleep
When I could hear my mother sobbing
I was 10 back then
I didn't have a room
Had to buy used shoes
I hid behind tunes
To avoid abuse
And every time I fell
I would blame it on myself
Even if it was an accident
Maybe it's not what I want
Oh, I've seen better days
And the moment fucking sucks
But I'll be damned if I don't stop
And, honestly, why not
When nobody gives a fuck
But sometimes I just can't help myself
I wanna give up trying
And start doing something else
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
I know it's in my mind
But I think I need some help
'Cause sometimes I just can't help myself
I was an outcast
Thrown out to dry and get laughed at
Too shy to talk about home
I always thought life was supposed to be cold
And, oh, I've been so
Lost without hope
I got a window in my head, it's a casket
You know I been wishing I was dead, but I mask it
Maybe it's not what I want
Oh, I've seen better days
And the moment fucking sucks
But I'll be damned if I don't stop
And, honestly, why not
When nobody gives a fuck
But sometimes I just can't help myself
I wanna give up trying
And start doing something else
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
I know it's in my mind
But I think I need some help
Because it's all I know
My hands around my throat
Pray that I won't let go
This time around
But every single time
I try to shut my eyes
I see the reason why
I'm not alone
Sometimes I just can't but sometimes I just can't help myself
I wanna give up trying
And start doing something else
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
I know it's in my mind
But I think I need some help
Sometimes I just can't help myself
