As recorded by Jelly Roll (From the 2024 Album BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN) [Intro] Em [Verse 1]
Em
Ever been rock-bottom

Em
At the bottom of a bottle?

G                          D
And you're just all by yourself

Em
Like you got a million reasons

Em
To grab a forty and squeeze it

G                          D
Just to put an end to this hell
[Pre-Chorus]
   Am7            C
It only numbs the pain

     Am7              D
I'll tell you what it takes
[Chorus]
             Em7
It takes the soul from your body

          G
Rips your heart out your chest

          Am7
Makes you feel like you're nothin'

    D
But just a waste of breath

                Em7
You don't wanna see the sun tomorrow

            G
Don't wanna face another day

Am7                               D
Suddenly, your life goes down the drain

                     Em7
Yeah, that's what it takes
[Verse 2]
Em
There's a silver-tongued devil

Em
Tellin' me that I'll never

G                             D
Make it out the hole that I'm in

Em7
I'm runnin' outta options

Em7
Once it starts, I can't stop it

G                        D
 It's just a means to an end
[Pre-Chorus]
   Am7            C
It only numbs the pain
[Chorus]
D            Em7
It takes the soul from your body

          G
Rips your heart out your chest

          Am7
Makes you feel like you're nothin'

    D
But just a waste of breath

                Em7
You don't wanna see the sun tomorrow

            G
Don't wanna face another day

Am7                               D
Suddenly, your life goes down the drain

                     Em7
Yeah, that's what it takes
