Intro [Em] - [C] - [G] - [G/f#] - [Em] - [C] - [G]
{section: Verse}
[G/f#] [Em] [C] [G] [G/f#] [Em]
I awoke only to find my lungs empty and through the night
[C] [G] [G/f#] [Em]
so it seems I'm not breathing and now my dreams
are nothing l[C]ike they were m[G]eant to be
[G/f#] [Em] [C] [G]
and I'm breaking down, i think I'm breaking down
[G/f#] [Em] [C] [G]
and I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me
[G/f#] [Em] [C] [G]
such as living with the uncertainty
[G/f#] [Em] [C]
that I'll never find the words to say
[G] [G/f#] [Em] [C] [G] [G]/[F#]**
which would completely explain, just how I'm breaking down
{section: Chorus}
[Gm]someone come, s[Em]omeone come and s[C]ave my life
maybe I'll sl[Gm]eep when I am d[Em]ead
but now it's like the n[C]ight is taking sides
and [Gm]all the worries[Em] that occupy the b[C]ack of my mind
could it b[Gm]e this mise[Em]ry will suff[C]ice?
[Em] - [C] - [G] - [G/f#] - [Em] - [C] - [G]
[G/f#] [Em] [C] [G] [G/f#] [Em]
I've become a simple souvenir of someone's kill and like the sea
[C] [G] [G/f#]
I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
ma[Em]dness fills my heart and so[C]ul
[G] [G/f#] [Em]
as if the great divide could swallow me whole
[C] [G] [G/f#]**
oh how I'm breaking down
