[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
