Verse 1
(C) Choices are a (F)seri(G)ous (C) matter,
Why can't I just (F) turn a (G) new (C) chapter?
I can't say what I feel
'Cause everything I thought was real
Just slipped through my (F) fingers (G) to(C)day.

(C)The world that I had (F) built (G)a(C)round me
Turned out just to (F) be (G)my (C)boundaries;
Not something that You hooked up,
Just something that I cooked up,
I (F) need to tear it (G) down right a(C)way.

Bridge
And the (F) world goes 'round and 'round, faster it (C) turns.
As (F) I fall to the ground, I think I (G) learn …

Chorus
That (Am) nothing I am (G) without You,
(F) Lost and clueless (G) in a zoo.
I (Am) need a change, need (G) something new.
(Dm) God, please (F) help me.
I (Am) find myself here (G)in this stew
(F) As I try to (G) fight this through,
(Am) Come unglued, shake (G) in my boots.
(Dm) God, don't (F) fail me.
Feel (Am) like a PO(G)W (F)scared out by the (G) Devil's boo.
I (Am) see I will for(G)ever lose if (Dm) You don't (F) help (C)me.

Verse 2
I (C) climb down from this (F) house (G) on (C)stilts
To live in something (F) else (G) that's (C) real
And live the life You chose for me,
No longer be phony me--
Be more like (F) You and (G) less of (C) me.

I see that I am (F) just (G) a (C) loser
Without You to (F) give me (G) a (C) booster.
I try to reach the doorknob
All by myself, and then I sob--
Here now I con(F)fess (G) my (C) need.

Bridge
And the (F) world goes 'round and 'round, faster it (C) turns.
As (F) I fall to the ground, I think I (G) learn …

Chorus
That (Am) nothing I am (G) without You,
(F) Lost and clueless (G) in a zoo.
I (Am) need a change, need (G) something new.
(Dm) God, please (F) help me.
I (Am) find myself here (G) in this stew
(F) As I try to (G) fight this through,
(Am) Come unglued, shake (G) in my boots.
(Dm) God, don't (F) fail me.
Feel (Am) like a PO(G)W (F) scared out by the (G) Devil's boo.
I (Am) see I will for(G) ever lose if (Dm)You don't (F)help (C)me.
