Intro:
Am G F
Am G F
Am

Verse:
     G                 F       Am
This life feels like a battle
G          F         Am
One that I canʼt win
              G                    F       Am
Itʼs like Iʼm swimminʼ against the current
         G                   F    Am
Like Iʼm runninʼ against the wind
              G         F     Am
Itʼs like Iʼm going overboard
        G                F
With an anchor ʼround my waist
       Am                 G
I lie awake at night with tears in my eyes
   F
My heart beatinʼ out of my chest
           Am                       G
Thereʼs no light at the end of this tunnel Iʼm in
    F
Iʼm callinʼ for an SOS

Chorus:
                     Am G   F
Somebody help me Iʼm,   drowninʼ
                             Am G   F
I canʼt tread much longer Iʼm,  fightinʼ
F
To keep my head above water
Am                    G
Throw me a line, show me a sign
F
Everythingʼll be alright
                      Am G   F
ʼCause I feel like Iʼm,  drowninʼ
                     Am G F Am G F Am
Somebody help me out

Verse:
         G                  F        Am
I try to see thе worldʼs true colors
            G                  F    Am
But theyʼre all just shadеs of gray
         G            F      Am
And itʼs only getting duller
G             F   Am
Every passing day
               G      F     Am
And the more I fake a smile
    G                 F
The more Iʼm bound to break
           Am                 G
Iʼve never felt so alone in a crowd full of folks
    F
Iʼm tryinʼ just to hide the pain
            Am                    G
Itʼs just a matter of time ʼtil I canʼt see the light
      F
And I hit rock bottom again

Chorus:
                     Am G   F
Somebody help me Iʼm,   drowninʼ
                             Am G   F
I canʼt tread much longer Iʼm,  fightinʼ
F
To keep my head above water
Am                    G
Throw me a line, show me a sign
F
Everythingʼll be alright
                      Am G   F
ʼCause I feel like Iʼm,  drowninʼ
F
Somebody help me out

Bridge:
Dm
 But it goes to show
                          C
There ainʼt always a boat
   Em             Am
To lend a helpinʼ hand
Dm                      G                      C
 But if I can find just one way to stay afloat
     Em                  Am        Em
Iʼll find my way back to shore again

Am G Em
Am G D

Chorus:
                     Am G   F
Somebody help me Iʼm,   drowninʼ
                             Am G   F
I canʼt tread much longer Iʼm,  fightinʼ
F
To keep my head above water
Am                    G
Throw me a line, show me a sign
F
Everythingʼll be alright
                      Am G   F
ʼCause I feel like Iʼm,  drowninʼ
        Am G   F
Lord Iʼm   drowninʼ
        Am G   F
Lord Iʼm   drowninʼ
         Am          Dm
Somebody help me out
