    E                          A            Dbm          B 
I can't believe that I'm here in this place again 
           E               Dbm       A            B 
How did I manage to mess up one more time? 
       E                    A              Dbm       B 
This pattern seems to be the story of my life 
                 E              Dbm            A             B 
Should have learned this lesson by the thousandth time. 
           Dbm                   Ab 
'Cause I promised myself I wouldn't fall 
       A        B 
But here I've fallen 
  Dbm               Ab 
I guess I'm not as strong as I thought 
   A          B 
All I can do   is cry to you. 
     E          A          Dbm      B 
Oh God you have to save me 
               E          A     Dbm   B 
You're my last and only hope 
     E           A          Dbm     B 
All my right answers fail me 
E         Ab         A         B 
I can't seem to make it on my own. 
 (Play intro twice) 
E                        A             Dbm             B 
Always thought that I would be strong enough 
         E                  Dbm           A         B 
What made all of them fall couldn't take me down 
        E                  A       Dbm          B 
Yeah, did I think that I was above it all? 
         E              Dbm               A        B 
I have learned that pride comes before the fall 
         Dbm                   Ab 
I can't promise myself that I won't fall 
         A           B 
'Cause here I've fallen 
   Dbm              Ab 
I know I'm not as strong as I thought 
    A         B 
All I can do   is cry to you.
