[Intro] C7 D7 G [Verse]
Em            A7
Wonder how I didn't die

 C              Cm              G             D       B7     Em
This is not my life, I'm no survivor, I only happened to survive

               A7
Wonder how I sleep at night

        C
Well I count pink elephants, blessings and skeletons

D7
Down the days I have left, with one eye open

  G                                G7
That was me screaming, "Bitch, I am reality"

                       C                 A7
Then stumbling off to lose myself in a brown paper bag, 'cause me and

  G                         B7                Em         Emmaj7           Em7            Em6
Sweet Evan Williams have a date down on Avenue A staving shakes scraping change till daybreak

           A7
Turns out anyone can eat out the trash

         D
Then wake up on the freeway mid-crash
[Chorus]
        G
I was drunk

                D
When I made my bed

              D7                         C      G C7
Now with the half-decade hangover I lay down in it

 D7          G                          D
What have I done? Don't know what I've said

            D7                      B7               Em
It's a half-decade hangover, either this, in jail, or dead

        C                           Cm                G
It's a half-decade hangover, Jesus Christ, my aching head
[Verse]
Em                   A7
Waste not, want not borrowed time

C                  Cm               G
Lender knows I've tried to make it right

              D        B7
Give back my life, and if not

 Em
Take it 'cause lately I've been thinking maybe I could

            A7
Take it or leave it if I can't at least break even then I'm leaving when

        C
I been feelin' this awful since I hit bottom and

 D7
Said "Hand me my shovel, I'm going in!"

     G                            G7
Oh brother, man, you call that recovered?

              C                    A7
Tripped on a couple steps, and collapsed on the stairs

          G                             B7
Broke my neck on the backs of those who I've hurt and scared

             Em           Emmaj7                  Em7         Em6
Like it's a good thing you said "you've got your whole life ahead"

            A7
Oh great, another half a century to live to regret

            D7
I'd rather be anybody else instead
[Chorus]
               G
I was drunk

                D
When I made my bed

              D7                         C      G C7

[Bridge] Em C7 C Cm G B Em A7 C D
 G                                   G7
Sober, but still so much still hangs over

                          C                        C7
Please believe me when I say I've poured my whole past down the drain

         D7                     B7
Say that a second chance is a chance I can take

       Em        Emmaj7           Em7         Em6
But I can't make amends for things I can't remember

             A7                    B7
I can only say I'm sorry and occasionally pray

             Em           Emmaj7  Em7             Em6
Guess you'll just have to take my word that I've changed

      D7                            D
After one thousand eight hundred twenty five days
[Chorus]
        G
I was drunk

                D
When I made my bed

              D7                         C      G C7
Now with the half-decade hangover I lay down in it

 D7          G                          D
What have I done? Don't know what I've said

            D7                       B7        Em
It's a half-decade hangover, hand me my ibuprofen

        C                           Cm                G
It's a half-decade hangover, Jesus Christ, my aching head
