Key: D

Intro:

D A F#m E


Verse 1:
D
Growing up, I never had a lot of money
A
Never had a phone, always was a little hungry
     F#m
Used to find it hard to sleep

When i could hear my mother sobbing
    E
I was 10 back then, I didnt have a room

Had to buy used shoes
        A
I hid behind tunes to avoid abuse
         F#m
And everytime I fell, I would blame it on myself
          E
Even if it was an accident

Pre-Chorus:
 D          A
Maybe, its not what I want
           F#m              E
Oh, I've seen better days, and the moment fucking sucks
   D             A           F#m
But I'll be damned if I don't stop, and, honestly, why not?
           E
When nobody gives a fuck?

Chorus:
               D  A
Sometimes I just can't help myself
          F#m           E
I wanna give up trying and start doing somеthing else
              D  A
Sometimеs I just get overwhelmed
          F#m              E
I know it's in my mind, but I think I need some help

Verse 2:
             D
Sometimes I just can’t help myself

I was an outcast
 A
Thrown out to dry and get laughed at
 F#m
Too shy to talk about home
 E
I always thought life was supposed to be cold
   D         A
And, oh, I’ve been so lost without hope
 F#m
I got a window in my head, it’s a casket
 E
You know I've been wishing I was dead, but I mask it

Pre-Chorus:
  D          A
Maybe, it's not what I want
           F#m              E
Oh, I've seen better days, and the moment fucking sucks
       D         A          F#m
But I'll be damned, if I don't stop, and, honestly, why not?
           E
When nobody gives a fuck?

Chorus:
            D     A
Sometimes I just can't help myself
          F#m            E
I wanna give up trying and start doing something else
             D   A
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
          F#m             E
I know it's in my mind, but I think I need some help

Bridge:
       D
Because it’s all I know
      A
My hands around my throat
       F#m           E
Pray that I won’t let go this time around
       D              A
But every single time I try to shut my eyes
       F#m         E
I see the reason why I’m not alone

Chorus:
          D
Sometimes I just can’t
             D     A
Sometimes I just can't help myself
         F#m               E
I wanna give up trying and start doing something else
             D   A
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
          F#m              E
I know it’s in my mind, but I think I need some help
                A
Sometimes I just can’t help myself
