Dm                               C
   I never thought this could be me 

                        F                           G
   I guess you never do, 'til it's happening to you

Dm                               C
   like all the fun turns into shame

                             F               G
   and all the "could have beens" rearrange

Dm                          C                     F                      G
   so little time so many crimes, guilt like a chain chokes my will away

Dm                              C
   redemption never seemed so cruel

               F                     G
   and all my gods never seemed so weak

Dm            F                        G
   Wake up engage now derailed and enraged

                    C
   it used to be so easy

Dm             F                          G                      C
   get up I'm game now I'm sick and I'm tame counting cost with lost

Dm Dsus2 C           Dm Dsus2 C

Dm C F G


Dm                   C                  F
   Drink to pills to shots put me into shock

                   G
   a habit and a pawn

Dm                      C                           F
   for every hand goes round the pain gets so damn loud

                            G
   the hammer hits and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down


   and I'm down and

   Dm
   trust no one

                  C                                        F
   hey why should I, they gave me the poison dressed like life

                            G
   cheated smacked up and diseased cry to sleep and fight to eat

Dm                      C
   used to be a pro at this

                          F
   now I've broken my own wrist

                             G
   rotten teeth and life unsung you'll forget me when I'm gone

Dm           F                       G
   Wake up engage now derailed and enraged

                     C
   it used to be so easy

Dm            F                           G                      C
   get up I'm game now I'm sick and I'm tame counting cost with lost

Dm           C              F               G
   I used to be a lot like you but now I'm only me

Dm           C              F               G
   I used to be a lot like you but now I'm only me I'm only me
