Oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh oh (etc)
[Am]Oh will you come[F] home so[C]on
[F]Come hom[C]e soon a[G]nd save me
[Am]I'm so bored
[F]Soul des[C]troying gloom

Oh will you find me now
Find me out and show me
I can't get up
Life threatening doom
Dragging me darker and down

[Am]Oh wont you come[F] for me[C]
[F]Comfort [C]me in th[G]e night
[Am]I'm so tired of [F]feeling [C]sick and tired
[F]Dying at[C] life's [G]door all the time
Oh I'm locked inside
Trapped inside this body
I can't get out
And there's not enough room
I'm glued to the back of this bone mask
BREAK
CHORUS
INTRO
That's roughly how it goes, it's played finger style so just experiment.
