  			verse 1 

C               G 
Everybody try to warm me 
         Em              D6 
You were poison from the start  
C                 G 
We had a love just like the movies 
      Em                D6      C 
Put a spell right on my heart  
             G 
I guess that I was too blind 
Em            D6          C 
I was too dumb to see it  
         G 
I didn't wanna be right 
Em                  D6           C 
Guess I didn't wanna believe it 


verse 2 

C                   G 
Now we're sitting at this table 
     Em              D6 
With nothing left to say 
C             G 
Say you wanna stay together 
      Em                 D6      C 
But I think it's just too late  
             G 
Cause I just wanna be free 
Em               D6       C    G 
I cannot do this forever, No 
No this is not me 
Em                  D6       C 
I deserve something better 


Pre-Chorus 

      G 
I was going too slow 
         Em                D6     C 
Watching life just pass me by  
            G 
And now I'm going nowhere 
Em                D6 
You're the reason why 


Chorus 
                     C        G 
It's something like an anchor  
     Em             D6 
That won't let go of me 
                       C        G 
It's something like an anchor 
    Em          D6 
Now I can barely breathe 
                 C      G 
I don't wanna go down 
                  Em     D6 
If I do I'm gonna drown 
                       C        G 
It's something like an anchor  
Em      D6 
I can't I can't 


Bridge 

C          G             Em 
Take these chains off me 
D6 
I don't wanna go under
