[Intro]
Am G F Am G F Am

[Verse 1]
     G          
This life feels 
       F       Am
like a battle
G          F     
One that I can\'t 
    Am
win
It\'s like I\'m 
G
swimmin\' 
against the 
F       Am
current
         G  
Like I\'m runnin\' 
against 
    F    Am
the wind
It\'s like I\'m 
G
going 
    F     Am
overboard
        G       
With an anchor \'
         F
round my waist
       Am 
I lie awake at 
night with 
G
tears in my eyes
   F
My heart beatin\'
 out 
of my chest
           Am   
There\'s no light 
at the end of 
     G
this tunnel I\'m in
    F
I\'m callin\' for 
an SOS

[Chorus]
Somebody help me 
    Am G   F
I\'m,   drownin\'
I can\'t tread much 
          Am G   F
longer I\'m,  fightin\'
F
To keep my head 
above water
Am               
Throw me a line, 
     G
show me a sign
F
Everything\'ll be 
alright
\'Cause I feel like 
   Am G   F
I\'m,  drownin\'
Somebody help me 
    Am G F  Am G F Am
out

[Verse 2]
         G  
I try to see thе 
world\'s 
   F        Am
true colors
But they\'re 
G 
all just 
          F    Am
shadеs of gray
         G    
And it\'s only 
        F      Am
getting duller
G             
Every passing 
F   Am
day
And the more 
  G 
I fake 
  F     Am
a smile
    G              
The more I\'m 
bound 
   F
to break
           Am   
I\'ve never felt 
so alone in 
  G
a crowd full of
 folks
    F
I\'m tryin\' just to 
hide the pain
            Am 
It\'s just a matter
 of 
            G
time \'til I can\'t 
see the light
      F
And I hit rock 
bottom again

[Chorus]
Somebody help me 
    Am G   F
I\'m,   drownin\'
I can\'t tread much 
          Am G   F
longer I\'m,  fightin\'
F
To keep my head 
above water
Am               
Throw me a line, 
     G
show me a sign
F
Everything\'ll be 
alright
\'Cause I feel 
        Am G   F
like I\'m,  drownin\'
F
Somebody help me out

[Bridge]
Dm
 But it goes to show
There ain\'t always
        C
 a boat
   Em     
To lend a 
        Am
helpin\' hand
Dm  
 But if I can 
find just 
G               
one way to stay 
       C
afloat
     Em          
I\'ll find my way 
        Am    
back to shore 
    Em
again

[instrument]

    Am G   F
I\'m,   drownin\'
I can\'t tread much 
          Am G   F

To keep my head 
above water
Am               
Throw me a line, 
     G

Everything\'ll be 
alright
\'Cause I feel like

       Dm
