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

I realize self pity's meaningless
D#m
Though I'm 10 feet deep
F#
I'll claw my way back
G#m A#m
out from in my grave

a day in those old shoes
Wondering what

my first smoke

would be like my first

and it changed my life

and it changed my life
