[Verse 1]
     D
When I was a boy

I didn't care about a thing
       G
It was me and this world

And a broken dream
      Em
I was blaming myself
    A
For all that was going
D
wrong 

(was going wrong)

[Verse 2]
      D
I was way out there
D
On the wrong side of town
        G
And the one's that I loved

I started pushing them out
       Em
Then I realized
     A             D
That it was all my fault


[Chorus 1]
                        D
I've been looking for a lifeline
         A             G
For what seems like a lifetime
                    Em
I'm drowning in the pain
               A
Breaking down again
              D
Looking for a lifeline


[Verse 3]
     D
So I put out my hand

And I asked for some help
   G
We tore down the walls

I built around myself
       Em
I was struck by the light
    A             D
And I fell to the ground


[Chorus 1]
                        D
I've been looking for a lifeline
          A            G
For what seems like a lifetime
                    Em
I'm drowning in the pain
               A
Breaking down again
              D
Looking for a lifeline


[Chorus 2]
                 D
Is there anybody out there
        A                 G
Can you pull me from this ocean of despair
                    Em
I'm drowning in the pain
               A
Breaking down again
              D
Looking for a lifeline


[Bridge]
           Bm
You know a heart of gold
      A                G
Won't take you all the way
         Bm
And in a world so cold
     A                G
It's hard to keep the faith
     G
I'm never gonna fade away

[Chorus 1]
                        D
I've been looking for a lifeline
                      G
For what seems like a lifetime
                    Em
I'm drowning in the pain
               A
Breaking down again
              D
Looking for a lifeline


[Chorus 2]
                 D
Is there anybody out there
                C#m       Bm
Can you pull me from this ocean of despair
                    Em
I'm drowning in the pain
               G
Breaking down again
              D
Looking for a lifeline
