Dm7 C    Dm7                          Am7 
The same drink that gets me out the door 
Dm7    C    Dm7                          Am7 
Is the same drink that puts me on the floor 
Dm7     C   Dm7                      Am7 
And the new thing I wanna try some more  
Dm7    C    Dm7                       Am7 
Is the same mistake I used to make before 


        Dm7 
If I'm helpless tell me now 
        Am 
Tell me now 
        Dm7 
If I'm helpless tell me now 
        Am 
Tell me now 
        Dm7 
If I'm helpless tell me now 
        Am 
Tell me now 
         Dm7                      Am 
And I'll stop trying to figure it out

Segunda parte: 

Dm7 C    Dm7                       Am7 
The same brain that brings me ecstacy 
Dm7    C    Dm7                        Am7 
Is the same pain that gets the best of me 
    Dm7    C  Dm7                        Am7 
And the one I love the most just said to me 
Dm7 C    Dm7                     Am7 
A broken heart is all I'll ever be 


        Dm7 
If I'm helpless tell me now 
        Am 
Tell me now 
        Dm7 
If I'm helpless tell me now 
        Am 
Tell me now 
        Dm7 
If I'm helpless tell me now 
        Am 
Tell me now 
         Dm7                      Am 
And I'll stop trying to figure it out
