[Intro] Em  D  C  D  G  D
        Em  D  C  D  G  D  Em

Em                   D
Sometimes life it takes you by the hand 
C                       D
It puts you down before you know it 
G                   D
It's gone and you're dead again
Em                        D
I've been in places and I won't pretend 
C           D
That I make it I just 
G    D      Em
Fall on my head
Em                         D
When it's strange to take a walk downstairs 
C                    D
Sweep you all up on a corner
G             D
And pay for my bread
Em                        D
You know that I cannot believe my own truth 
C            D
To show what a truth
G      D      Em
It’s got nothing to lose 

Em                  D
Yeah yeah and it's okay 
C                 D
I tie my hands up to a chair
   G                D
So I don't fall that way
Em                  D
Yeah yeah and I'm alright 
C                    D
I took a sip of something poison 
   G       D      Em
But I'll hold on tight 

Em                           D
You know those days when you wanted to choose 
C                 D
To not get out of bed and 
G                D
Get lost in your head again
Em                        D
You play the game but you gotta cut 
C                        D
Cuz' you're coming down hard 
G          D         Em
Your joints are off stud
Em                     D
I tried to say that's not the only way 
C.               D
I never knew if I could
G                D
Convince myself to change
Em                  D
You were pacing I was insecure
C                    D
Slip and fall I got the calls of the 
G       D       Em
Prison I was living in

Em                  D
