Verse:
G                        Bm    C
  She moved away when she turned eighteen
Em                                 D
   In search of home, didnʼt know what that means
G                                   Bm       C
   She thought sheʼd find it somewhere on the big screen
      Em                             D
She just kept running, she just kept running
G                Bm   C
   Hollywood wasnʼt all that she thought
Em                               D
   City of Angels but her wings got cut
G                    Bm          C
   She got high enough to think she met God
      Em                               D
She told Him something, she told Him
 
Chorus:
                G                       Em
Give me a reason, give me a sign
                C                           G
ʼCause Iʼm down and out of my mind
            Em                            D                              G
Is there someone out there to throw me down a lifeline?
(Throw me out, throw me out)
               G                         Em
Sending a prayer out into the night
            C                    G
Tell me,  doing this right?
           Em                    D
I could use a little bit of help from the outside
 
Verse:
G              Bm C
   Paycheck, living week to week
Em                            D
  He clocks out just to get no sleep
G                  Bm  C
  A nightmare of an American dream
        Em                                D
They all want something, they all want something
G                    Bm      C
  Itʼs just stress, so the doctor says
Em                       D
  His young heartʼs beating out of his chest
G                   Bm  C
  Student loans and medical debt
      Em                      D
The bills keep coming, and he says
 
Chorus:
                G                       Em
Give me a reason, give me a sign
                C                           G
ʼCause Iʼm down and out of my mind
            Em                            D                              G
Is there someone out there to throw me down a lifeline?
(Throw me out, throw me out)
               G                         Em
Sending a prayer out into the night
            C                    G
Tell me,  doing this right?
           Em                    D                           G
I could use a little bit of help from the outside.

G                  Em
  Hear me out, hear me out

  Help me out (Help me out), help me out (Help me out)
                    G
From the outside, can you help me?
G                                Em                                    C
  Help me out (Help me out), help me out (Help me out)
                    G
From the outside,
 
Chorus:
                              G                          Em
Could you give me a reason, give me a sign?
                C                              G
ʼCause Iʼm down and out of my mind
             Em                          D                             G
Is there someone out there to throw me down a lifeline?
(Throw me out, throw me out)
               G                         Em
Sending a prayer out into the night
            C                      G
Tell me,  doing this right?
           Em                    D                         G
I could use a little bit of help from the outside
 
Outro:
G
  Do anything for my dadʼs advice
Iʼd like to think that heʼs in the sky
G                    Bm     C
  I stay up late talking to him sometimes
  Em                               D
I hope he hears me when I say
