Intro: Aadd9 

Am 
I feel the knife at my throat 
                    Em 
and it cuts and it burns 
 Am 
Have you no mercy? 
                            Em 
you laugh as I twist and I turn 
   Dm 
Crushing the air in my chest 
                          Am   G 
till there is no air to breathe 
 Dm 
Pray there's a way to escape 
                   C  E 
but the joke is on me 

               F                 Dm 
Show me some hope, show me some light 
                Am                 G 
'cause I got nothing left in me tonight 
            F           Dm 
If I don't go, If I say no 
          Am  G 
is it the end? 
    F                           G        Am   G 
Somebody tell me, have I just wasted a lifetime? 
               F                 Dm 
Show me some hope, God, it's so cold 
             Am 
throw me a lifeline 
          F            Dm 
It's so cold, it's so cold 
             A  Dm F  A Dm F Aadd9 
throw me a lifeline 

Am                                         Em 
All too familiar so why are we back here again? 
 Am                                             Em 
Tell me you know how it feels to be killing a friend 
    Dm                                           Am  G 
Screaming in silence, there's no way of saving myself 
    Dm 
If there's no redemption 
                 C  E 
I'll see you in hell 

               F                 Dm 
Show me some hope, show me some light 
                Am                 G 
'cause I got nothing left in me tonight 
            F           Dm 
If I don't go, If I say no 
          Am  G 
is it the end? 
    F                           G        Am   G 
Somebody tell me, have I just wasted a lifetime? 
               F                 Dm 
Show me some hope, God, it's so cold 
             Am 
throw me a lifeline 
          F            Dm 
It's so cold, it's so cold 
             A C Dm F             A C Dm F 
throw me a lifeline, throw me a lifeline 

Aadd9    Dm        C    E 
Now you gone and done it 

F Dm Am G 
Oooh 
            F           Dm 
If I don't go, If I say no 
          Am  G 
is it the end? 
    F                           G        Am   G 
Somebody tell me, have I just wasted a lifetime? 
               F                 Dm 
Show me some hope, God, it's so cold 
             Am 
throw me a lifeline 
          F            Dm 
It's so cold, it's so cold 
             A  Dm F 
throw me a lifeline 
A Dm F Aadd9 
A lifeline (3x)
