Chords

[Verse]
C                            F
I was awake, dreaming about sleeping

          C                 F
And my mistakes, and how I keep ‘em

             C  G  Am  F
So close to me,

              C  G  Am  F
so that I’ll never

          C  G  Am  F
Never forget,

             C  G  Am  F
I can’t get anywhere

G                          F
Shedding tears over these bottles

C               G           F
Celebrating my life at the bottom

        G                     F
Of the barrel of a barrel so rotten

             G
And I’ve forgotten

F                     G
What this was like before I started stopping
[Chorus]
C
Fuck this, fuck this

    G
I’m out, I'm out

    Am               F
of bullshit to cry about.

         C                       G
You can pass these “fuck you”s around.

                 Am                            F
I’ll be dead and gone when this shit hits the crowd

         C   C/B  Am    G    F
Tell me why, why, why, why, why

        C      C/B    Am  G       F
I even tried, tried, triiiiied tonight

                      C   G  F   C  G  F   C  G  F
I should just let it die.

       G                                F
Cause I’m so tired of waiting for this shit to shine.
[Verse]
       C                     F
I was asleep dreaming about palm trees

           C             F
And I woke up to lonely city streets

             C      G  Am  F
I heard the voices

               C    G    Am  F
echoed in the back rooms

       C      G               Am            F        C  G  Am  F
And I had to walk around the corner to the barstools

         G                             F
Where I was shedding tears over these bottles

C               G           F
Celebrating my life at the bottom

        G                     F
Of the barrel of a barrel so rotten

             G
And I’ve forgotten

        F
How to light this fire

        G
I’ve forgotten

        F
How to toe this wire

        G
I’ve forgotten

F                     G
What this was like before I started stopping
[Chorus]
C    C/B  Am    G    F
Why, why, why, why, why

           C   C/B   Am  G    F
Do I even try, try, tryyyyy tonight

                        Am   G  F   Am   G  F     Am   G  F
I should fucking let it die.

    Em                             F
And I’m tired of waiting for this shit to shine.
[Bridge]
C     G        F
I am tired of waiting

C     G        F
I am tired of waiting

C           G        F
This is my life this is my time

              C      F
It’s time to take it
[Outro]
C           G        Am     F
This is my life this is my time

C           G        Am     F
This is my life this is my time

C           G        Am     F  C  G  Am  F
This is my life this is my time

              C   C/B  Am    G    F
Don’t let it die, die, die, die, die
