B Am G I was caught inside the wreck D G Never found my way out F#m G I was filled with indifference B G#m G The animals were getting tired D G So I sang them a song F#m E 'cause they promised not to take too long Well, I can't find my way back home I'll listen to you if you want me to But you have to share a smoke Yeah, I've been running against the wind And I can hear the angels calling The madness has been pulling me right Em Back out of my stride F#m I feel the change in the rising tide and Em Blood is in the room F#m D I buried all my wrongs there with my youth Chorus: D G F#m (Don't give up on me now) D I'm on the outside D G F#m (Don't give up on me now) B Am G D G F#m E And I'm falling apart Well, pleased to meet you, excuse my hands I've been bitten by an enemy that's pretended to be my friend No, I never wanted to be like them I thought I was just too clever To be brought down to their level Of misfortuned chagrin I don't care now what it's worth But if you lift this burden off my back I'll follow you to the bloody end I've lived my life the way I want But no one can tell me they're not afraid Of the freedom of deliverance Well, I take it all in stride I feel the change in the rising tide And someone's in the room I buried all my guilt there with my youth Chorus: (Don't give up on me now) I'm on the outside (Don't give up on me now) And it's warm on the outside (Don't give up on me now) That's a lie I don't want to fall apart Yeah, well, me? I've been afraid I clawed and I fought like hell The darkest days upon you Yeah, well, me? I've gone astray My blood was turning to sand The darkest days upon you Yeah, well, me? I've been afraid The numbness was getting closer The feverish days upon you Yeah Whoo Whoo Whoo Whoo, ah You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  D  E  Em  F#m  G  G#m  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
