[Verse 1] A F#m Headed for a blackout hurting like hell C#m B Finding my way to bottom of the bottle A F#m Packing up my suitcase, leaving no trace C#m B One step closer with every swallow A F#m A deafening silence, that you liked me C#m B Where you want me, saying nothing A But not this time F#m I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say

A What sober couldn't say F#m Couldn't break through C#m B Under the influence of you A F#m Incoherent, truth serum C#m B Just enough to make me bullet proof A F#m I'm so over this love gone violent C#m B I'm drunk and brave enough to say A What sober couldn't say [Verse 2] A F#m Criminal in my mind C#m B I've been doing time A F#m Believing in the lie C#m B That you still loved me A F#m Making up for the slamming of the door C#m B Always wanting more but never giving A F#m Sick of crying, Tired of trying C#m B Always buying into every kiss A But not this time I'm gonna say [Chorus 2]
