[Intro] Em Em G C Em Em G C [Chorus]
Em                Em
If I could put my problems in a paper

         G                              C
Then I'd roll 'em up and blow 'em away (away)

Em                Em
If I could find a pill to solve 'em

               G                       A  C
I would take a bottle and I'd be okay (okay)

Em                Em
If I could fit my sorrows in a glass

           G                               C
I'd pour a double shot and drink 'em away (away)

Em               Em
If life was that easy then

                  G                          C             Em
I'd never have to worry for the rest of my days (yeah yeah)

         Em              G            C         D    Em
But life just ain't that easy, oh no,(oh no) no no

     Em                   G                      C
It's taken its toll on me deep down, in my soul (my soul)
[Verse 1]
Em
Cheers, bottoms up

Em
I wish that I could roll my problems up

             G
Wish I could put 'em in a pill and just swallow 'em

             C
Wish I could swallow 'em every time I pick the bottle up

             Em
Then I would chug, chug

                                   Em
You know that I would kill it, get fucked up, I wish that that would end it

G
Drowning in my liquor meant the drummer would be finished

C
But in reality that would just be the beginning

  Em
I really got a feeling that it's time for me to change

           Em
Instead of really dealing with it, I just keep running away

  G
I gotta start dealing with the shit that's on my plate

         Am        C
But it's hard when I'm sick from the shit that I done ate

        Em
And I'm nauseous (nauseous)

         Em                                          G
And it's hard to sleep at night when I'm turning and tossing (tossing, tossing)

         A          D                        Em
And it's hard for a man like me to accept my losses

       Em                  G
Whata, we do now, when you froze inside

                               C
And it's cold outside, and the heat goes out (out,out)

             Em                                Em
When you're already late and you gotta detour cause the streets shutdown (shutdown)

         G                                            C
And it's all on you cause you know you can't let your people down

                           Em
You gotta go in beast mode now
[Chorus]
                  Em
If I could put my problems in a paper

         G                              C

           G                               C
I'd pour a double shot and drink 'em away (away)

Em               Em
If life was that easy then

                  G                              C           Em
I'd never have to worry for the rest of my days (yeah,yeah)

    Em                   G        C          Em
But life just ain't that easy, oh no, no no (no,no)

     Em                   G                      C
It's taken its toll on me deep down, in my soul (my soul)
[Verse 2]
Em                             Em
All my life I been fucking up, all my life I been not enough

G                                              C
It's hard to learn to love when your mama just treat you like you ain't nothing

              Em
She chose her man over her kids

Em
Stuck with him through a bid

    G
But she won't answer my fucking call

         C                                          Em
Man that shit just bring me to tears but fuck that (fuck that,fuck that)

        Em                                         G
I gotta be strong cause I know my son is watching

                     Am       D                      Em
I gotta make sure my daughter see her daddy thriving

                 Em
Cause these kids gon' do what you do but not what you say

    G                                     Am         D            E     Em
I'm teaching 'em that it's not okay to be just okay, that's never okay (never okay)

                  Em                                      G
Feeling stress as I sit and reminisce about my open cases

                         C                                 Em
A nigga meditate just to renovate all of my broken places (places, places)

   Em
On the real I think I need therapy

      G                                          Cmaj7
Cause some of these thoughts I be having just be scaring me

C
Scaring me uh
[Chorus]
Em                         Em
