[Verse 1]
  C                       Em
Snakes are biting at my heels

                    C              D
The worries that refuse to let us go

C                     Em
I'll be kicking them away

                    C                D
When hoping not to let them take control
[Pre-Chorus]

Drink to escape their minds

Show me distraction

C         Bm
Even for just one night

my head in the sand sometimes

my head in the sand sometimes

it's not the right way to go

       Em                            Em/B  C  G
but I pray for the ground to swallow me whole

Ooouh I'm not rea - dy

Now these days are feeling dark

We're sruggling to figure out last year

  C                    Em
When the women on the news

                         C               D
Keep saying things that no one wants to hear

If I'm not steady
