Verse
C#m
I spent some time in
B F#m G#m
a bad place at 18
C#m E
wishing I could see
F#m
something through clear
G#m C#m
eyes Do you ever wake up
B F#m
to realize that your
G#m
life is meaningless?
C#m
Does it give you strength
E
or lead you to your
F#m G#m
grave at a young age?
Chorus 2:
C#m B
Pound my knuckles
A G#m
hard against the floor
F#m G
My head against the wall
G# G#/C
But I did this to myself
C#m B A
Assume it's just not worth
G#m
getting back up but
F#m G
I'll blame it on bad luck
G#
I'll shake responsibility
Post Chorus: Guitar Solo
Bm--Em-F#- x2
Verse 2:
C#m
It seems that when
B F#m
I ran away from
G#m C#m E
my past all my dignity my
F#m G#m
faith my pride got left back
C#m
And now I think it's time that
B F#m G#m
I realize self pity's meaningless
C#m
Though I'm 10 feet deep
E
I'll claw my way back
F#m G#m
out from in my grave

a day in those old shoes
Wondering what

would be like my first
C#m B A
fuck my next fuck up

would change my life

and it changed my life
C#m A B F#/Bb(Hold)
and it changed my life
