[Verse 1]

Cm Gm

Here I lie forever

Sorrow still remains

Will the water pull me down

and wash it all away

Come and take me over

Welcome to the game

Will the current drag me down

and carry me away

Bb Ab Bb

Suddenly the light begins to fade

[Chorus]

Hopeless

I'm falling down

Filthy

I can't wake up

I can not hold on

I will not let go

Worthless

It's over now

Guilty

There's no way out

I can not hold on

I will not let go

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

Cm Gm

Silent I go under

I am not afraid

I can see the daylight shine

And slowly drift away

Safe to say it's over

Sink into the grave

There is nothing left inside

But I am wide awake

Bb Ab Bb

I can hear the devil call my name

[Chorus]

Hopeless

I'm falling down

Filthy

I can't wake up

I can not hold on

I will not let go

Worthless

It's over now

Guilty

There's no way out

I can not hold on

I will not let go

[Instrumental]

Cm Ab

[Chorus]

Hopeless

I'm falling down

Filthy

I can't wake up

I can not hold on

I will not let go

Worthless

It's over now

Guilty

There's no way out

I can not hold on

I will not let go
