Take Me Away

Dm
Help me I am drowning
F
And I wanna breathe again
C                           Gm
Promise me that this is not the end
Dm
Tortured by the screaming
F
Of the voices in my head
C                          Gm
They beat me down until my heart is 
dead
Dm
Those around me think I'm happy
F
But they don’t really give a shit
C
So I scrape a smile and wear it
Gm
Guess that ignorance is bliss
Dm
I keep hiding what's inside me
F
Cuz it's easier that way
C                               
And when it’s you and I alone, I 
Gm
look to you and say

[Chorus]
Dm
Take me away
F
Take me away
C                  Gm
Who am I to try to save me from 
myself
Dm
Take me away
F
To better days
C                           Gm
I'd give anything to just be someone
 else

Dm
Help me I am fading
F
From the rope around my neck
C                       Gm
I need your strength to cut me down 
again
Dm
I swear that I don't wanna die
F
But it seems hopeless every time
C                            Gm
The darkness comes alive from deep 
within
Dm
I know if I tried to end it
F
You would send my soul straight down
C                         Gm
Disappointed in the way I wasted 
life and threw it out
Dm                          
But if the pain is gonna last 
   F
forever don't you think
C                               
It would be okay if we just say you 
Gm
gave me angel wings

[Chorus]
Dm
Take me away
F
Take me away
C                  Gm
Who am I to try to save me from 
myself
Dm
Take me away
F
To better days
C                     Gm
I'd give anything to just be someone
 else

[Bridge]
Dm
Show me that there's something more
F
Or someone else worth living for
C                       Gm
Open up my eyes and lead the way
Dm
Cuz the lump is rising in my throat
F
The one that wants to see me choke
C                   Gm
Suffocating me with misery

[Chorus]
Dm
Take me away
F
Take me away
C                  Gm
Who am I to try to save me from 
myself
Dm
Take me away
F
To better days
C                     Gm
I'd give anything to just be someone
 else

[Chorus]
Dm
Take me away
F
Take me away
C                  Gm
Who am I to try to save me from 
myself
Dm
Take me away
F
To better days
C                     Gm
I'd give anything to just be someone
 else
Dm
Help me I am drowning
F
And I wanna breathe again
C                           Gm
Promise me that this is not the end
