C5
When I was a boy
C5
I didn't care about a thing
       G5 
It was me and this world and a broken dream
C5
I was blaming myself
                           G5
For all that was goin' wrong

C5
I was way out there
C5
On the wrong side of town
        G5
And the ones that I loved
G5
I started pushing 'em out
     C5
Then I realised
                   G5
That it was all my fault

[Chorus]

                        G5
I've been looking for a lifeline
                      C5
For what seems like a lifetime
                    G5
I'm drowning in the pain
              C5
Breaking down again
              G5
Looking for a lifeline


C5
So I put out my hand
C5
And I asked for some help
   G5
We tore down the walls I built around myself
      C5
I was struck by the light
                  G5
And I fell to the ground

[Repeat Chorus]

                 G5
Is there anybody out there?
                          C5
Can you pull me from this ocean of despair?
             G5
I'm drowning in the pain
              C5
Breaking down again
              G5       
Looking for a lifeline

           C5
You know a heart of gold
                         G5
Won't take you all the way
         C5
And in a world so cold
                      G5
It's hard to keep the faith
                     C5
I'm never gonna fade away!
G5
Yeah!

                        G5
I've been looking for a lifeline
(I've been looking for a lifeline)
                      C5
For what seems like a lifetime
(For what seems like a lifetime)
                    G5
I'm drowning in the pain
               C5
Breaking down again
              G5            C5
Looking for a lifeline
                 G5
Is there anybody out there?
(Is there anybody out there?)
                          C5
Can you pull me from this ocean of despair?
                    G5
I'm drowning in the pain
               C5
Breaking down again
              G5 ~~~~~~~
Looking for a lifeline
(Looking for a lifeline)
