[Verse]
A             G#        D#
So is it courage or strength

        F            F2      F3
and is that what I'm waiting for

A          G#          D#
If I could just kill myself

          F    F2       F3
would it also kill the remorse

A            G#       D#
I wanted so badly to catch a break

        F     F2     F3
but I'm only breaking down

A                    G#
I'm still here and standing

            D#
but if it's up to me

   F  F2  F3      A G#       D#
I don't think I'll be hanging around
[Chorus]
    E
The drink slips down my throat

        G#
and the burn cures nice and slow

        F                                  D#
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see

                       E
The only parts left of me
Now here I am
        C#(h)
Just a kid without a better plan

               G#                              F
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most

    D#
I never got to see the west coast
A C# A C# A C# D# A C# A C# A C# D#
A          G#               D#
Spent my nights just asking why

      F        F2          F3
Would God let me become like this

A        G#             D#
Was it a joke from the start

       F            F2   F3
Was I suppose to laugh more at it

A               G#                        D#
And everyone's quoting their teachers and preachers

          F           F2   F3
but their words make me feel so alone

A      G#                     D#
No one ever says that they've had those thoughts

        F      F2   F3
in the middle of the night

A      G#                    D#
No one ever admits that they wanted to take their life
[Chorus]
    E
The drink slips down my throat

        G#
and the burn cures nice and slow

        F                                  D#
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see

                       E
The only parts left of me
Now here I am
        C#(h)
Just a kid without a better plan

               G#                              F
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most

    D#
I never got to see the west coast
A C# A C# A C# D# C#(h) But it's the life I dreamed I'd have
     C
The love I've found in my grasp

     B                        A#
The words I could share with someone
C#(h) Those thoughts keep the breath in my lungs
       C
That tomorrow my hope will become

    B                         A#
to feel a love that can't be undone

     A       G#        D#
And save a wretch like me
[Chorus]
    E
The drink slips down my throat

        G#
and the burn cures nice and slow

        F                                  D#
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see

                       E
The only parts left of me
Now here I am
        C#(h)
Just a kid without a better plan

               G#                              F
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most

    D#
I never got to see the west coast
[Outro] A C# A C# A C# D#
