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

I'll claw my way back
Em F#m
out from in my grave

G D F#
But now I realize I'd give

anything I have to walk

a day in those old shoes
Wondering what

my first smoke

would be like my first

fuck my next fuck up

Or the next band that

would change my life

and it changed my life
Bm G A F#/Bb(Hold)
and it changed my life
