Intro: D G Em A D 

               D 
When I was a boy 
                          
I didn't care 'bout a thing 
G                                          
It was me and this world and a broken dream 
Em               
I was blaming myself 
A                           D   
for all that was going wrong 

D 
I was way out there 

on the wrong side of town 
G 
and the ones that I loved 

I started pushing 'em out 
Em 
then I realised 
                       A 
That it was all my fault 


 
                             D                              
I've been looking for a lifeline 
                             G 
for what seems like a lifetime 
                       Em 
I'm drowning in the pain 
                       A 
breaking down again 

                       D 
looking for a lifeline 
 
                    
                    D 
So I put out my hand  

and I asked for some help 
G                                            
we tore down the walls I built around myself 
Em 
I was struck by the light 
A 
and I fell to the ground 

 
                              D 
I've been looking for a lifeline 
                             G 
for what seems like a lifetime 
                       Em 
I'm drowning in the pain 
                    A 
breaking down again 
                     D 
looking for a lifeline 

                          D  
Is there anybody out there? 
                                         G 
Can you pull me from this ocean of despair? 
                      Em 
I'm drowning in the pain 
                   A 
breaking down again 
                      D 
looking for a lifeline 
 

Bm 
You know a heart of gold  
A                      G 
wont take you all the way 
Bm 
And in a world so cold  
A                       G 
its hard to keep the faith 
                        D 
Im never gonna fade away! 

D G Em A 
Yeah! 

 
                               D

                       Em 
I'm drowning in the pain 
                   A 
breaking down again

                                        G

                        Em

                   A
