Pick me up from the floor again

Tell me to count to ten

A

Bm
Cover
D                                 G
Me with all the love that you can lend
             A
On you I can depend on


[Pre Chorus]
Bm
Holding on not letting go
D
How can I feel alive again
G
In this darkness on my own

A

Bm
Mother
D                               G
Tell me is this where the story ends
                   A
Do I have to start again


[Chorus]
D                       Gbm
Who's the man behind the mask
            G                Bm
You wore it well, you had me fooled
          A
'till the last laugh
D                     Gbm
Were you faking every day
D           G                            Bm  A
Now I can't breathe because you took my air away
Em  G                 Bm                A                 Em
You smashed me like a glass against the walls that we had made
Em     G               Bm
Walked away nothing to say
       D
Just a debt that has been paid


[Verse 2]
Bm
Mother
D                       Bm
Can't you see that I am broken
Bm                   Am
(I was haunted I was found, then you run me into the ground)
Bm
Mother Mother
D                           G
How long will my wound stay open
Bm             A
I cant do this again


[Pre Chorus]
Bm
Holding on not letting go
D
How can I feel alive again
G                      A
In this darkness on my own
A                    D
I wish I knew how to pretend
Bm
Mother
D                             G
Is this the price that I must pay
     D           A
As I slowly slip away


[Chorus]
D                       Gbm
Who's the man behind the mask
            G
You wore it well, you had me fooled
          A
'till the last laugh
D                     Gbm
Were you faking every day
D           G                            Bm  A
Now I can't breathe because you took my air away


[Bridge]
Em                  G
I dont't know where to begin
    Bm              A
You made me feel so dead in my own skin
Em               G
You stretched me paper thin
Bm           D
You knew I'd always give in

Em            G
You pushed me to the brink
Bm                     A
You knocked me down or so you think
Em             G
You played the game
            Bm                    A
Is what the man in the mask would say


[Chorus}
D                       Gbm
Who's the man behind the mask
            G                Bm
You wore it well, you had me fooled
          A
'till the last laugh
D                     Gbm
Were you faking every day
D           G                            Bm  A
Now I can't breathe because you took my air away

D                       Gbm
Who's the man behind the mask
            G                Bm
You wore it well, you had me fooled
          A
'till the last laugh
D                     Gbm
Were you faking every day
D           G                            Bm  A
Now I can't breathe because you took my air away
