[Verse 1]
E A E
I'm getting pretty tired of the state things are in
B7
Sometimes I feel like cutting a vein, just watching it bleed
E A E
I'm tired of laying it down, getting nothing on the other end
A E B7 E
and people only wanting to be your friend when you got something they need
[Chorus]
A E
Well some days you kill it and some days you just choke
B7
Some days you blast off and some days you just smoke
A E
Well now maybe I do and maybe I don't
E B7 E
Everybody says they'll be there but in the end y'all know they won't
[Verse 2]
E A E
Well I'm getting pretty tired of being treated like competition
B7
When the only one that can hold me down is inside my head
E A E
Whats a honky gotta do around here to get a little recognition
A E B7 E
Start to think I might be worth more to everybody if I was dead
[Chorus]
A E
Well some days you kill it and some days you just choke
B7
Some days you blast off and some days you just smoke
A E
Well now maybe I do and maybe I don't
E B7 E
Everybody says they'll be there but in the end y'all know they won't
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
E A E
I'm getting pretty tired sitting around and wasting time
E B7
I'm tired of taking blame when I ain't done nothing wrong
E A E
I'm tired of other people trying to take what's mine
A E B7 E
and I'm tired of y'all playing dress up and trying to sing them old country songs
[Chorus]
A E
Well some days you kill it and some days you just choke
B7
Some days you blast off and some days you just smoke
A E
Well now maybe I do and maybe I don't
E B7 E
Everybody says they'll be there but in the end y'all know they won't
[Outro]

Well now maybe I do and maybe I don't

They all say they'll be there but in the end... y'all know they won't
