[Intro 2x]
Em D C D G D 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
[Refrão]
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
[Próxima Parte]
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
