Verse 1
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Nothing can be done
Am Am 
 
against the truth
D D 
 
G G 
 
No matter how we remain in denial,
yeah
Wasting time,

Am Am 
 
replacing time with each empty excuse
D D 
 
G G 
 
But that'll only work a little while
Am Am 
 
D D 
 
Coping with despair,
G G

knowing you're not there

Am Am 
 
run away from everyone
D D 
 
G G 
 
Hoping to escape this ridicule
Bm Bm

G G 
 
I wear it like a skin
Bm Bm 
 
Em Em 
 
Dying to maintain,
Bm Bm 
 
Em Em 
 
oh I keep trying to explain
Am Am 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
A heart that never loved me to begin

D D 
 
Oh I'm such a mess,

I have no choice but to confess
Am Am 
 
D D 
 
That I've been desperately
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
trying to belong
D D 
 
G G 
 
Lieing to myself and
Em Em 
 
Am Am 
 
everybody else
D D 
 
G G 
 
Refusing to admit my right was wrong,
Em Em 
 
and then he came

Selah, oh and it means
Em Em 
 
Bm Bm 
 
Praise and meditation,

Verse 3
Em Em 
 
How beautiful is fruit still
in denial of its roots
Am Am 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
My guilty heart behaves so foolishly
This treason from within that
Em Em 
 
reasons with my sin
Am Am 
 
D D 
 
Won't be happy 'til
G G 
 
it sees the death of me
Am Am 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
Selfishly addicted to
Em Em 
 
a life that I depicted
Am Am 
 
D D 
 
Conflicted 'cause it's
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
not reality
D D 
 
Oh what's left of me,
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Am Am 
 
I beg you desper ately
D D 
 
G G 
 
Cause me to agree with what
Em Em 
 
I know is best for me

D D 
 
Please save me from my self,

I need you, save me from my  self

Em Em 
 
oh have been nothing but mistakes
Am Am 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
What a wasted use of space,
Em Em 
 
should I die before I wake?
Bm Bm 
 
Em Em 
 
In all of my religion,
Bm Bm 
 
Em Em 
 
I've fortified this prison
Am Am 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
Obligated to obey the demands
Em Em 
 
of bad decision
Am Am 
 
D D 
 
Please save me from myself
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
I need you to save me from myself
Am Am

D D 
 
Please save me from myself so I can heal
