                       C#m         A
I was standing in the rain, I had nowhere to go
           E                B
Nothing remained, just a stranger in these clothes
                 C#m     A
The joke of the party, drinking all alone
               E                  B
With no one beside me, the only place
I've ever known

F#m               E/G#   A
 Don't say, "I'm gonna stay this way"

Chorus:
Asus2 E             Bsus4
I    hit rock bottom with nothing left to give
Asus2 E           Bsus4
All love forgotten, finding reasons to live
     Asus2            E                  Bsus4 C#m7
You picked me up when I was down on the floor
      Asus2                               Bsus4 A
You showed me how to love myself a little more

I'm scared to go to sleep
Demons watching over me
How am I supposed to breathe
When I feel this fuckin' weak?
You are the medicine to get me by
You are the therapy to ease my mind
When I fall, you catch me every time
When I'm falling, you come calling

Don't say I'm gonna stay this way

Chorus

A      E                B
Don't say, "I'm gonna stay this way''
A      E                B
Don't say, "I'm gonna stay this way''

Chorus

             Asus2              E
You are the medicine to get me by
              Bsus4
You are the therapy to ease my mind
        Asus2                    E
When I fall, you catch me every time
          Bsus4
When I'm falling, you're the reasons to live
