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

D A C#
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
F#m E D
fuck my next fuck up

would change my life

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