D A E A

[Verse 1]
A
I took my first drink
            D
The second I awoke
                   A                                   E    E7
And as my head began to sink, I felt that my heart just broke
A
I fall to my knees
               D
What else can I do?
               A          E7           A
I'm praying to God but I'm calling for you

[Chorus]
  D                           A
I swear that I've tried everything but suicide
D                       A
And every day is still the same
    D                  A
With each new tear the same old pain is here
   B7                                  E   E7
Oh death, you'll have so little left to claim
  A                                     D
I stare in the mirror at a man I hardly knew
               A          E            A
I'm praying to God but I'm calling for you

[Instrumental]
D A E A A7

[Chorus]
  D                           A
I swear that I've tried everything but suicide
D                       A
And every day is still the same
    D                  A
With each new tear the same old pain is here
   B7                                  E   E7
Oh death, you'll have so little left to claim
  A                                     D
I stare in the mirror at a man I hardly knew
               A          E            A
I'm praying to God but I'm calling for you
               A        E                A
I'm praying to God but I keep calling for you
