[Intro]
C Em Am Fmaj7
 
 
[Verse 1]
         C                  Em
Somebody save me, me from myself
           Am                Fmaj7
I've spent so long living in hell
            C                       Em
They say my lifestyle is bad for my health
         Am                       Fmaj7       G
It's the only thing that seems to help
 
 
[Bridge]
C
All of this drinking and smoking is hopeless but
Em
Feel like it's all that I need
Am
Something inside of me's broken I hold on to
Fmaj7                      G
Anything that sets me free
 
 
[Chorus]
      C                      Em
I'm a lost cause, baby don't waste your time on me
       Am
I'm so damaged beyond repair
         Fmaj7
Life has shattered my hopes and my dreams
      C                      Em
I'm a lost cause, baby don't waste your time on me
       Am
I'm so damaged beyond repair
         Fmaj7                     G
Life has shattered my hopes and my dreams
 
 
[Interlude]
C                 Em
  Oooh-ooh-ooh-oh-ooh
                  Am
  Oooh-ooh-ooh-oh-ooh
                  Fmaj7
  Oooh-ooh-ooh-oh-ooh
 
 
[Verse 2]
            C                         Em
What if the night sky was missing the moon
              Am                               Fmaj7
There were no shooting stars to use wishing on you
              C                          Em
And all of my sorrows I'd just wash them down
         Am                   Fmaj7
It's the only peace I've ever found
 
 
[Bridge]
C
All of this drinking and smoking is hopeless but
Em
Feel like it's all that I need
Am
Something inside of me's broken I hold on to
Fmaj7                      G
Anything that sets me free
 
 
[Chorus]
      C                      Em
I'm a lost cause, baby don't waste your time on me
       Am
I'm so damaged beyond repair
         Fmaj7
Life has shattered my hopes and my dreams
      C                      Em
I'm a lost cause, baby don't waste your time on me
       Am
I'm so damaged beyond repair
         Fmaj7                     G
Life has shattered my hopes and my dreams
 
 
[Outro]
C                 Em
  Oooh-ooh-ooh-oh-ooh
                  Am
  Oooh-ooh-ooh-oh-ooh
                  Fmaj7  C
  Oooh-ooh-ooh-oh-ooh

Great tab! That F is actually an F Maj7. Its a beautifully sad chord that matches the feel of this song perfectly.
