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

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

[Chorus]

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


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

[Repeat Chorus]

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

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

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