• Difficulty: Beginner

♫ 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
    Em
Used to find it hard to sleep

When I could hear my mother sobbing
   Bm7
I was 10 back then
        C
I didn't have a room

Had to buy used shoes
       G
I hid behind tunes

To avoid abuse
         Em
And every time I fell

I would blame it on myself
         Bm7
Even if it was an accident

♫ Pre-Chorus:
C           G
Maybe it's not what I want
          Em
Oh I've seen better days
            Bm7
And the moment fucking sucks
  C             G
But I'll be damned if I don't stop
          Em
And, honestly, why not
          Bm7
When nobody gives a fuck

♫ Chorus:
              C
But sometimes I just can't help myself
G        Em
 I wanna give up trying
             Bm7
And start doing something else
           C
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
G         Em
 I know it's in my mind
            Bm7
But I think I need some help

♫ Verse 2:
              C
Cuz sometimes I just can't help myself
        G
I was an outcast
                  Em
Thrown out to dry and get laughed at

Too shy to talk about home
 Bm7
I always thought life was supposed to be cold
  C
And 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           G
Maybe it's not what I want
          Em
Oh I've seen better days
            Bm7
And the moment fucking sucks
  C             G
But I'll be damned if I don't stop
          Em
And, honestly, why not
          Bm7
When nobody gives a fuck

♫ Chorus:
              C
But sometimes I just can't help myself
G        Em
 I wanna give up trying
             Bm7
And start doing something else
           C
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
G         Em
 I know it's in my mind
            Bm7
But I think I need some help

♫ Bridge:
       C
Because it's all I know
     G
My hands around my throat
      Em
Pray that I won't let go
       Bm7
This time around
     C
But every single time
     G
I try to shut my eyes
     Em
I see the reason why
     Bm7
I'm not alone

♫ Chorus:
         N.C.
Sometimes I just can't
              C
But sometimes I just can't help myself
G        Em
 I wanna give up trying
             Bm7
And start doing something else
           C
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
G         Em
 I know it's in my mind
            Bm7
But I think I need some help
            G
Sometimes I just can’t help myself



N.C. = Mute
