Intro 
                              Dm  G  Am7  Fmaj7 
Daytrip took it to ten (hey!) 
Dm  G  Am7  Fmaj7 
(Coo-coo) 

 
               Dm 
Is being sober hopeless? 
           G 
All I ever think about is smokin' 
Am7                          Fmaj7 
Now I know why daddy had to keep the bottle open 
Dm          G          Am7          Fmaj7 
Uh, I can't blame him, no, I can't blame him 
     Dm                     G 
Am I crazy? Seems like everybody is lately (coo-coo) 
Am7                        Fmaj7 
Now I understand how mama raised me (I do) 
        Dm         G           Am7 
I can't blame her, no, I can't blame her 
Fmaj7 
Not at all (yeah, yeah) 


verse 1 
Dm             G 
Ask me how I'm doing today 
         Am7 
Bet I'll say I'm okay 
        Fmaj7            Dm 
But I'm rotting away inside (inside) 
        G 
Don't worry 'bout it though 
        Am7 
Both of us are, you know? 
       Fmaj7                     Dm 
Funny, that's how it goes in life 
        G 
I'm not tryna be dark 
           Am7 
But I just got to the part 
          Fmaj7 
Where you stare at the stars 
    Dm 
And compare what you are 
        G 
To everything all around 
       Am7 
Wonder what it'd be like 
          Fmaj7 
If it all came crashing down 


Pre-Chorus 
Dm                 G 
You shouldn't talk back to your mother 
Am7               Fmaj7 
Or you might get smacked by your mother 
Dm           G 
Cut a little slack for your father 
Am7 
'Cause he's never comin' back 

 
               Dm 
Is being sober hopeless? 
           G 
All I ever think about is smokin' (yeah) 
Am7                          Fmaj7 
Now I know why daddy had to keep the bottle open 
Dm          G          Am7          Fmaj7 
Uh, I can't blame him, no, I can't blame him 
     Dm                     G 
Am I crazy? Seems like everybody is lately (coo-coo) 
Am7                        Fmaj7 
Now I understand how mama raised me (I do) 
        Dm         G           Am7      Fmaj7 
I can't blame her, no, I can't blame her (no, no) 


verse 2 
Dm               G 
I try to say I'm not addicted but 
       Am7 
I keep thinking 'bout the blunt 
Fmaj7                             Dm 
Cut it for a week but I don't think I'd last a month 
           G           Am7 
When I was 17 I didn't think about stuff 
     Fmaj7 
Then life got tough 
Dm                        G 
It's gettin' harder every single day (true) 
           Am7 
The minute that I wake (true) 
              Fmaj7                    Dm 
The one thing that I crave, it's insane 
             G 
I need it to stay up (uh) 
               Am7                     Fmaj7 
Love what Mary Jane does in every situation, oh, yeah 
Dm               G 
You make it feel painless 
          Am7                        Fmaj7 
My doctor says I should use in moderation but 
Dm                   G                  Am7 
I just roll myself a J and push it all away 
                       Fmaj7 
To the back side of my brain, hey 


Pre-Chorus 
Dm                 G 
You shouldn't talk back to your mother 
Am7               Fmaj7 
Or you might get smacked by your mother 
Dm           G 
Cut a little slack for your father 
Am7                       Fmaj7 
'Cause he's never comin' back 


               Dm 
Is being sober hopeless? 
           G 
All I ever think about is smokin' (yeah)

Now I understand how mama raised me (I do) 
        Dm         G           Am7         Fmaj7 
I can't blame her, no, I can't blame her
