Em C
[Verse 1]
EmI tell myself that I just don't need this Canymore
EmBut I don't know if I can Cresist
EmCause I don't know when to stop, never know when it's Ctime
EmSo don't wake me up now cause I'm almost out of my Cmind
EmTell me what you want to get out of Cthis
EmMaybe all I ever needed was just a Cfix
EmI wanna see what they got, I wanna see what they can Cfind
EmSo don't wake me up now, cause I'm aGlmost out my Dmind
[Chorus]
EmStaring down the Gbarrel of a gCun tonight
EmWhen it's all dGone what will yCou decide

EmStaring at the gun
EmStaring at the gun tonight
[Verse 2]
EmDon't go turning the lights down on Cme
EmCause I don't want to have to face what I can't Csee
EmDon't wanna see what I'm not, don't wanna see my Cstate of mind
EmSomebody wake me up now, help me Gget down off this rDide
