[Intro]
C# C#/C C#/A# C#/G# A#m/F# G# A#m
[Verse 1]
A#m F# G# C# C#/C
When you fail - how did i fail you… when you fall what pushed you to that place
A#m F# G# A#m
Where you feel so down that you need to escape, because life all the sudden, just got so damn hard to take
A#m F# G# C# C#/C
Is there a trigger… a reaction - caused by stress or something else
A#m F# G# A#m
Or just a constant desire burning inside…. like a dark cloud within that you fight every day to hide…
[Chorus]
F# G# G#/A# G#/C C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
I don’t understand addiction… so I won’t pretend that i do…
F# G# G#/A# G#/C C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
Disappointment and destruction, hurting those that care you know it’s true…
F# G# C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
Watching you fall apart, there’s an end coming somewhere down the line
F# G# A#m A#m/G#
I’m gonna walk away, or watch you fail one last time
F# G# C# C#/C C#/A# C#/G# A#m/F# G# A#m
I don’t understand addiction…. but I care that it’s killing you…
[Verse 2]
A#m F# G# C# C#/C
I hear again you fell off the wagon… someone came knocking at my door
A#m F# G# A#m
Always chasing down the dragon… chasing the same highs you got before
A#m F# G# C# C#/C
Heartbroken from your actions, I believed you had the battle won
A#m F# G# A#m
It's time to find a higher power, you’re playing russian roulette and the drug is your gun…
[Chorus]
F# G# G#/A# G#/C C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
I don’t understand addiction… so I won’t pretend that I do…
F# G# G#/A# G#/C C# C#/C Bbm Bbm/G#
Disappointment and destruction, hurting those that care you know it’s true…
F# G# C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
watching you fall apart, there’s an end coming somewhere down the line
F# G# A#m A#m/G#
I’m gonna walk away, or watch you fail one last time
F# G# C# C#/C C#/A# C#/G# A#m/F# G# A#m
I don’t understand addiction…. but I care that it’s killing you…
[Bridge]
F# C#
I've talked with so many people who have been where you are…
F# C#
It takes you piece by piece - slowly tearing you apart…
F# C#
They say the good times tempt you, but the bad times are worse…
D#m F# G#
Cause the brain forgets the pain…. but the body stores the curse
[Chorus]
F# G# G#/A# G#/C C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
I don’t understand addiction… so I won’t pretend that i do…
F# G# G#/A# G#/C C# C#/C Bbm Bbm/G#
Disappointment and destruction, hurting those that care you know it’s true…
F# G# C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
Watching you fall apart, there’s an end coming somewhere down the line
F# G# A#m A#m/G#
I’m gonna walk away, or watch you fail one last time
F# G# C# C#/C C#/A# C#/G# A#m/F# G# A#m
I don’t understand addiction…. but I care that it’s killing you…
[Outro]
A#m F# G# C# C#/C
What happened to get you started, what decisions brought you down
A#m F# G# C# C#/C C#/A# C#/G# A#m/F# D#m C#
You’re so amazing when you’re sober, someone who makes me proud
