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

Bm--Em-F#- x2

Em
It seems that when
D Am
I ran away from
Bm Em G
my past all my dignity my
Am Bm
faith my pride got left back
Em
And now I think it's time that

I realize self pity's meaningless
Em
Though I'm 10 feet deep
G
I'll claw my way back
Am Bm
out from in my grave
