Verse 

C                            F 
I was awake, dreaming about sleeping 
          C                 F 
And my mistakes, and how I keep ‘em 
             C  G  Am  F 
So close to me, 
              C  G  Am  F 
so that I’ll never 
          C  G  Am  F 
Never forget, 
             C  G  Am  F 
I can’t get anywhere 
G                          F 
Shedding tears over these bottles 
C               G           F 
Celebrating my life at the bottom 
        G                     F 
Of the barrel of a barrel so rotten 
             G 
And I’ve forgotten 
F                     G 
What this was like before I started stopping 

C 
Fuck this, fuck this 
    G 
I’m out, I'm out 
    Am               F 
of bullshit to cry about. 
         C                       G 
You can pass these “fuck you”s around. 
                 Am                            F 
I’ll be dead and gone when this shit hits the crowd 
         C   C/B  Am    G    F 
Tell me why, why, why, why, why 
        C      C/B    Am  G       F 
I even tried, tried, triiiiied tonight 
                      C   G  F   C  G  F   C  G  F 
I should just let it die. 
       G                                F 
Cause I’m so tired of waiting for this shit to shine. 

Verse 

       C                     F 
I was asleep dreaming about palm trees 
           C             F 
And I woke up to lonely city streets 
             C      G  Am  F 
I heard the voices 
               C    G    Am  F 
echoed in the back rooms 
       C      G               Am            F        C  G  Am  F 
And I had to walk around the corner to the barstools 
         G                             F 
Where I was shedding tears over these bottles 
C               G           F 
Celebrating my life at the bottom 
        G                     F 
Of the barrel of a barrel so rotten 
             G 
And I’ve forgotten 
        F 
How to light this fire 
        G 
I’ve forgotten 
        F 
How to toe this wire 
        G 
I’ve forgotten 
F                     G 
What this was like before I started stopping 

C    C/B  Am    G    F 
Why, why, why, why, why 
           C   C/B   Am  G    F 
Do I even try, try, tryyyyy tonight 
                        Am   G  F   Am   G  F     Am   G  F 
I should fucking let it die. 
    Em                             F 
And I’m tired of waiting for this shit to shine. 

Bridge 

C     G        F 
I am tired of waiting 
C     G        F 
I am tired of waiting 
C           G        F 
This is my life this is my time 
              C      F 
It’s time to take it 

Outro 

C           G        Am     F 
This is my life this is my time 
C           G        Am     F 
This is my life this is my time 
C           G        Am     F  C  G  Am  F 
This is my life this is my time 
              C   C/B  Am    G    F 
Don’t let it die, die, die, die, die
