Capo on 3rd fret
(Lyrics)
below dirt I fall under nothing when everything collapses now
     C                 Em              Am          F
to the ground I go and I won't be back this time
I hopCe you won't miss me nowEm  
     Am                  F
as I fade to dust while I fake drown all over this
and teCase tease you might brEming ease iAmf you realFly did care
      C                       Em              Am         F
(Chorus)
I can't stand up looking for a win win when ya try to make me 
and I just Ccan't move on Em  Am  
and I just won't look Fdown or out and I'm scared now, and all I can do is shout out 
if you did just careC  Em  Am  
                 F
and over and over my mind won't pull through, to bring make back here to make just another find
      C                          Em                                       Am                 Am
and all through if I won't just die here yet I might cry out for you to hear me now
      C                          Em                    Am                        Am
(bridge)
and under my skin did you crawl over
when eCverything all the timeEm  Am  F  
begins Cto dieEm  
Am         F
and I won't move a muscle
if you Cwon't let me iEmn
and I wAmon't move  a mFuscle
if you Cdon't tryEm  
       Am     F
