[Intro]
G                        C              D   G                                 C            D
When I was thirteen, I bought a scally cap, looked up to the older guys who drank at the rat.

G                                   C           D     G                      C            D      G
Couldn't wait to grow up just to drink with the crew, put my name on the map and have a social few.
[Interlude] G C D C G C D D D D [Verse]
G               C            D         C
I recall when I was small I thought I'd be legend soon

G                       C               D          C              G
but that was then and this is now a harder road cannot be found, don't get me wrong,

C                     D                C                            G
good times were had, sometimes the fun outweighed the bad, but all in all,

             C           D                  C
now said and done I can recall more bad than fun
[Chorus]
       G               C                D                 G
It's killing me, the answer's here, it's plain to see it's taken me

      C                     D          G
I'm half the man I thought I'd be. It's killing me

      C               D             C               D       G
it's taken years but now I see I'm not the man I thought I'd be
[Verse]
   G                  C             D          C           G             C
I'd fight them all, big or small, angel dust and Bud tall, collars up and fists the same

 D                       C           G
protect your friends and family name, had my lumps,

C                       D             C
received a few, but not near what I deserved

G                       C              D                      C
some say this life's my punishment some say this life's my just deserve.
[Chorus] [Ending]
       G               C                D                 G
It's killing me, the answer's here, it's plain to see it's taken me

      C                     D
I'm half the man I thought I'd be.

G                C               G               C
Caps and bottles are killing me.  Caps and bottles are killing me

G                C               G
Caps and bottles are killing me.
