AS IT IS - Can't Save My Self. Capo 2
I am playing this acoustically, the cadd9s are completely optional.
First attempt at transcribing.....this is sounds write.
Give feed back!
[Chorus]
G D Cadd9 Em D Cadd9
I can't help the way my mind is hardwired to hate myself
'Cause I swear that this is hell
G D Cadd9 Em D Cadd9
The way I desperately try to save myself
'Cause I can't save myself
[Verse]
Cadd9 D G
A single breath (in empty lungs)
That's all I got left (gasping for air)
Cadd9 D G
And a bad idea branded in my brain I can't seem to shake
Cadd9 D Em
Another day (in tired skin), I shed and fray (far from desire)
Cadd9 D G
'Til all I am is textbook misery and my own mistakes
Cadd9 D Em
And as I've aged the only thing I think has changed
Cadd9 D
Is that the demons have moved from under my bed
G
Into the inner depths of my head
Cadd9 D Em
I can't escape the ugly things my mind creates
Cadd9 D G
I speculate that they'll stay with my 'til the grave
[Chorus]
G D Cadd9 Em D Cadd9
I can't help the way my mind is hardwired to hate myself
G D Cadd9
'Cause I swear that this is hell
Em D Cadd9
The way I desperately try to save myself
Cadd9
'Cause I can't save myself
[Verse]
In broken bones (a half-hearted smile)
I feel at home (I'm proud of nothing)
I tend to get attached so quick to all I've ever known
But I don't seem to know a single fucking thing that can save me
I'm my own worst enemy
Em Cadd9
Is there any hope for me?
[Chorus]
G D Cadd9 Em D Cadd9
I can't help the way my mind is hardwired to hate myself
G D Cadd9
'Cause I swear that this is hell
Em D Cadd9
The way I desperately try to save myself
Cadd9
'Cause I can't save myself
[Bridge]
G D C
I'm the boy who chose not to grow up and now I'm unprepared for anything
G D C
Now I'm scared and I'm cold and alone because the world grew up without me
Em Caddy
(Is there any hope for me?)
[Chorus]
G D Cadd9 Em D Cadd9
I can't help the way my mind is hardwired to hate myself
G D Cadd9
'Cause I swear that this is hell
Em D Cadd9
The way I desperately try to save myself
Cadd9
'Cause I can't save myself
