Verse 1:
          Em           C
I didn't mean to hurt you when I hurt myself
        G              D
It's just an empty voice screaming out for help
            Em
No, I didn't mean to scare you
        C
But I couldn't see
       G                 D
That when I went to hell I was taking you with me

Chorus 1:
         Em
When I close my eyes
           C
I'm climbing in the dark
           G   D
Trying not to fall apart
          Em
Sometimes I get so high
  C           G
Falling is the only out I see
  D                 Em
And I don't wanna take you down with me


Pre-Drop 1:
      C      G
You're the love in my heart
    D
Only love in my heart
  Em
Take you down
      C    G   D
Take you down with me
 Em        C
(Don't wanna take you down)
 G
(Take you down)

(Take you) down with me

Verse 2:
           Em
This life is like a razor
         C
When it cuts, I bleed
         G
But it's in my hand
           D
And I'm doing it to me
             Em
Sometimes it's like an ocean
         C
And it gets too deep
        G               D
And there's no way that now you could rescue me


Chorus 2:
         Em
When I close my eyes
           C
I'm fighting in the dark
              G   D
Trying not to break your heart
           Em
Sometimes I get so high
  C            G
Falling is the only out I see
  D                Em
And I don't wanna take you down with me


Bridge:
          Em   C
You need to let it go now
       G
Before you drown
  D
I know that you won't understand
  Em
But you need to let go of these hands
  C        G
'Cause I'm going down
    D              Em
And I don't wanna take you down with me


Drop 2:
   C G D
Em  C G D

And I don't wanna take you down with me

Take you down, down with me
