Verse
Am
I spent some time in
G Dm Em
a bad place at 18
Am C
wishing I could see
Dm
something through clear
Em Am
eyes Do you ever wake up
G Dm
to realize that your
Em
life is meaningless?
Am
Does it give you strength
C
or lead you to your
Dm Em
grave at a young age?
Chorus 2:
Am G
Pound my knuckles
F Em
hard against the floor
Dm D#
My head against the wall
E E/Ab
But I did this to myself
Am G F
Assume it's just not worth
Em
getting back up but
Dm D#
I'll blame it on bad luck
E
I'll shake responsibility

I ran away from
Em Am C
my past all my dignity my

faith my pride got left back

Though I'm 10 feet deep

I'll claw my way back
Dm Em
out from in my grave
