A#m G# D#m
Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.
A#m G# D#m
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...
A#m G# D#m                              A#m
Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow.

G# D#m                        A#m
Oh   but God I want to let it go.

A#m                         F#
Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone.
F#                D#m             G#      A#m
Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show.
A#m                 F#
Never wanted it to be so cold.
F#                  D#m              G#
Just didn't drink enough to say you love me.

A#m          F#
I can't hold on to me,
A#m            D#m
Wonder what's wrong with me.

Chorus

                     F#     G#         A#m
Don't want to let it lay me down this time.
F#       D#m   G#  A#m
Drown my will to fly.
F#           F          A#m
Here in the darkness I know myself.
F#           D#m          G#    A#m
Can't break free until I let it go.
A#m
Let me go.

Darling, I forgive you after all
Anything is better than to be alone
And in the end I guess I had to fall
Always find my place among the ashes

I can't hold on to me,
Wonder what's wrong with me.

Chorus:
Lithium
Don't wanna lock me up inside
Lithium
Don't wanna forget how it feels without
Lithium

Stay in love with you
I, I'm gonna let it go
