Tone: [G]
Capo 2
Intro:
[C] [G] [Em] [Bm7]
Verse 1:
[C]Growing up I never had a lot of money
[G]I never had a phone
Always was a little hungry
Used to [Em]find it hard to sleep
When I could hear my mother sobbing
I was [Bm7]10 back then
I didn't have a [C]room
Had to buy used shoes
I hid behind [G]tunes
To avoid abuse
And every time I [Em]fell
I would blame it on myself
Even if it was an [Bm7]accident
Pre-Chorus:
[C]Maybe it's not what I [G]want
Oh I've seen better [Em]days
And the moment xxxxing [Bm7]sucks
But [C]I'll be damned if I don't [G]stop
And, honestly, why [Em]not
When nobody gives a [Bm7]xxxx
Chorus:
But sometimes I just can't [C]help myself
[G] I wanna give up [Em]trying
And start doing something [Bm7]else
Sometimes I just get [C]overwhelmed
[G] I know it's in my[Em]my mind
But I think I need some [Bm7]help
Verse 2:
Cuz sometimes I just can't [C]help myself
I was an outcast[G]outcast
Thrown out to dry and get laughed at[Em]at
Too shy to talk about home
I [Bm7]always thought life was supposed to be cold
And [C]oh I've been so
[G]Lost without hope
[Em] I got a window in my head, it's a casket
[Bm7]You know I been wishing
I was dead, but I mask it
Pre-Chorus:
[C]Maybe it's not what I [G]want
Oh I've seen better [Em]days
And the moment xxxxing [Bm7]sucks
But [C]I'll be damned if I don't [G]stop
And, honestly, why [Em]not
When nobody gives a [Bm7]xxxx
Chorus:
But sometimes I just can't [C]help myself
[G] I wanna give up [Em]trying
And start doing something [Bm7]else
Sometimes I just get [C]overwhelmed
[G] I know it's in my[Em]my mind
But I think I need some [Bm7]help
Bridge:
Because it's [C]all I know
My hands a[G]around my throat
Pray that I [Em]won't let go
This time aro[Bm7]around
But every [C]single time
I try to [G]shut my eyes
I see the [Em]reason why
I'm not al[Bm7]alone
Chorus:
-nc-
Sometimes I just can't
But sometimes I just can't [C]help myself
[G] I wanna give up [Em]trying
And start doing something [Bm7]else
Sometimes I just get [C]overwhelmed
[G] I know it's in my[Em]my mind
But I think I need some [Bm7]help
Sometimes I just can’t [G]help myself
