C#m        A
I need this to get me through
C#m           G#m
Can't resist don't want to
C#m       A
Believe it I know it's true
C#m           G#m
Can't beat it don't want to try
A perfect hell

C#m
It's more to me
than you ever will know
Down here where
the rest of us fell
Waste away nothing
left to show
While I'm in this
E       B/D#
perfect hell

C#m A G#m    E     B
  Obsession has begun
C#m   A     G#m E      B
  Possessed by destruction
C#m   A   G#m E      B
  How did I  get so low
C#m A     G#m  E       B
  Believe me  no one knows

A
Sometimes I can't hold on
B
And no one can help me

Chorus:
C#m                     E
Now it's got a hold of me
A
I don't think I can
B         G#m      E
make it through this
C#m                    E
Now it's got a hold of me
     A
The less I do the
 B       G#m   E
more it makes no sense

    C#m
I'm walking pollution
      B/D#
who's drained by delusions
E                   F#m
On the verge of destruction
               C#m
I cave in to abduction
               B/D#
Thin blood I'm bleeding my
             E
pulse won't stop racing
        F#m
Just as my heart explodes

No chance that I could win,
too hard to not give in
I just don't feel the same,
cause I'm the one to blame
Sometimes I can't hold on,
and no one can help me

Chorus

C#m
I need this to be myself,
it feels like I need some help
It's too late to save myself
or it's just in my head

Chorus - x2
