Capo: 2nd fret
[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
