[Intro] | G | C G/B | D | Em C | x2 [Verse 1]
G
Fall prey to the blizzard head

C                G/B                 D
Wrapped my hand around the glass again

                            Em              C
We all thought that I might change as I got older

G
Fell down and nothing bled

C                 G/B         D
Wrapped in cotton alcohol again

                            Em            C
To the hilt I hear from the prick upon my shoulder
[Verse 2]
G
Free pour the fruitless thoughts

     C               G/B
It's far too late to talk so much but

D
  Still not giving up though

  Em              C      G/B
I wish that I was sober
[Pre-chorus]
C             G           D
Forgive me, I can't speak straight

        C      G
Forgive me, I can't

   C             G       D
Forgive me, it's far too late
[Verse 3]
G
Choke down the gateway drug

C                    G/B                     D
Opened the gates, in came the flood, it comes

                         Em              C
Like a blush of love, it hits me without warning

G
Long nights of getting lost

  C                G/B                D
I walk beneath the bridge I don't know

                          Em             C
I need a black suit for tomorrow, I'm in mourning
[Verse 4]
G
My love you should know

    C               G/B          D
The best of me left hours ago so

                    Em               C
Shove a rag into my mouth and let me smolder

G
Fallout and the damage done

  C                 G/B            D
I can't un-sink the things I've sunk
Still not giving up though
  Em              C      G/B
I wish that I was sober
[Pre-chorus]
C            G/B            D
Forgive me, I can't speak straight

Forgive me, I can't

   C            G/B       D
Forgive me, it's far too late
| C G | D | D | [Chorus]
G  C                 G/B         D
Oh come and shake me till I'm dry

     Em              C
Oh I wish that I was sober

G  C              G/B               D
Oh come to me and kill the night off

  Em              C
I wish that I was sober

I wish that I was sober
