Dm F   A#     C       Dm    F       C
I went out today for a walk in the rain
I was so sad and blue I could feel any pain
I was worried about everything My head began to howl
I'm running away from myself
There's too may demon's around here now

Chorus:
Dm   A# C Dm               A#     C
Everybody   I don't know what to say
Dm              A#       C     A#
I wish I could take the pain away
Dm   A# C Dm               A#     C
Everybody   I don't know what to say
Dm              A#       C     A#
I wish I could take the pain away

But that can't happen everybody knows it's true
And if you have to know I'll never understand you
So if you have to go you better go now
Go off somewhere safe I hope you will somehow

Chorus - x2
