[Verse 1]
E C
Fill me up, pour me out
D
Wash her name out of my mouth
E
I am ready to be clean
E C
Burned my lungs and she was gone
D
Long before the lights went on
E
God, I hope she’s done with me

[Verse 2]
E C
Do you beg, do you pray?
D
Tell me how you get away
E
From the voices in your head
E C
I am lost, I’ve been done
D
Long before the lights went on
E
Someone please put me to bed

[Chorus]
C
Cause I,
Am Bsus4#5/E
I am not well
G C
And she knows, she knows, she knows how
Am E
To bend me to her will

[Verse 3]
E C
Calling out in the street
D
Have you got something for me?
E
There’s a hunger to be fed
E C
There was ash in my mouth
D
Long before the lights went out
E
But I don’t recall just what I said

[Verse 4]
E C
Do you gamble, do you bet?
D
Can you risk the love you have
E
For a temporary high?
E C
Shaking hands, it was done
D
Long before the lights went on
E
Did it leave you satisfied?

[Chorus]
C
Cause you,
Am Bsus4#5/E
You are not well
G C
And I know, I know, I know how
Am Bsus4#5/E
To bend you to my will
G C
Yeah, you know, you know, you know, I
Am Bsus4#5/E
I am not well
G C
And I’ll give you what you want so
Am E
Take what you will

C D E

[Outro]
E
So come down
C
Come down with me
D E
Come down with me
E
Fill me up
C
Pour me out
D E
I am ready to be clean
