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

Though I'm 10 feet deep
B
I'll claw my way back
C#m D#m
out from in my grave

a day in those old shoes
Wondering what

my first smoke

would be like my first
G#m F# E
fuck my next fuck up

would change my life

and it changed my life
G#m E F# F#/Bb(Hold)
and it changed my life
