C                  Am
When I'm down and out
                C
Bruises on my knees
               Am
Emptiness and loneliness
         C
My only company
            Dm
You are the only one
            G
You are the only one

Chorus:
         Am      F                 C
Who can help me make it through tonight
        G
I'm not asking, I'm begging
Am        F            C              G
I don't know if I will ever win this fight
Am         C                 F        C   G
Walking a tight rope getting over my memories
Am       F                  C
Help me make it across the line
         G                 C
Help me make it through tonight

All these things I do
All the damage done
I’m hurting myself and you
And you are the only one

Chorus:
Who can help me make it through tonight
I’m not asking, I’m begging
I don’t know if I’ll ever win this fight
Walking a tight rope
Hanging over my memories
Help me make it across alive
Help me make it through

     Dm           F
The devil on my shoulders
        C                G
Always gets the best of me
    Dm             F
I know its always been this way
        C                          G
But I know now it doesn't have to be

Help me make it through tonight
I'm not asking, I'm begging
I don’t know if ill ever win this fight
Help

Chorus:
Walking a tight rope
Hanging over my memories
Help me make it across alive (make it)
Help me make it through
Help me make it across alive (make it)
Help me make it through
Help me make it across alive
Help me make it through
Help me make it across alive
Help me make it through tonight
