Am                   C               G                  Em
Life it seems will fade away,        drifting further every day.
Am                   C               G                  Em
Getting lost within myself,          nothing matters, no one else.
Am                   C               G                  Em
I have lost the will to live,        simply nothing more to give.
Am                   C               G
There is nothing more for me.        Need the end to set__

Am                   C               G                  Em
Things not what they used to be,     missing one inside of me.
Am                   C               G                  Em
Deathly lost, this can't be real,    cannot stand this hell I feel.
Am                   C               G                  Em
Emptiness is filling me,             to the point of agony.
Am                   C               G
Growing darkness taking dawn,        I was me, but now__

D5  E5                       D5    E5       G5  F#5   D5
Now I can't think,           think why I should even try.
