[Intro]
F5 Bb5 G5 C5
[Verse 1]
C5 G5
I've got this sensation in my chest
Eb5
It pulls live vines cross my solar plexus
C5 G5
A self-esteem lower than the state of Texas
Eb5
My current shooting blanks at a bulletproof vest
N.C.
I'm restless
C5 G5 Eb5
A wave is coming, it's coming, it's, it's coming on
C5 G5 Eb5
A wave is coming, I turn and run
[Chorus]
G5
Broken smile
Eb5
All I hate I've become
C5 G5
One more hit, then I quit
Eb5
Yesterday I baked at eight
C5 G5
Your devil clouds, you'll blow away
Eb5
Yesterday I prayed and prayed
C5
Your devil clouds would blow away
G5 Eb5 C5
[Verse 2]
C5 G5
Same old shit more or less
Eb5
Getting higher than the peak of Everest
C5 G5
Spinning like the pieces in a game of Tetris
Eb5
And burning every bridge that could possibly exist
N.C.
I'm reckless
C5 G5 Eb5
A wave is coming, it's coming, it's, it's coming on
C5 G5 Eb5
A wave is coming, I turn and run
[Chorus]
G5
Broken smile
Eb5
All I hate I've become
C5 G5
One more hit, then I quit
Eb5
Yesterday I baked at eight
C5 G5
Your devil clouds, you'll blow away
Eb5
Yesterday I prayed and prayed
C5
Your devil clouds would blow away
F5 Bb5 G5 C5
F5 Bb5 G5 C5
[Bridge]
F5 Bb5
I got these old issues unaddressed
G5 C5
Delivery for Reefer via federal express
F5 Bb5
Rock bottom's up, happy hour, what a mess
G5 C5
I'm crashing like a tidal wave in cardiac arrest
C5 G5 Eb5
[Chorus]
G5
Broken smile
Eb5
All I hate I've become
C5 G5
One more hit, then I quit
Eb5
Yesterday I baked at eight
C5 G5
Your devil clouds, you'll blow away
Eb5
Yesterday I prayed and prayed
C5 G5 Eb5
Your devil clouds would blow away
C5 G5 Eb5
Your devil clouds would blow away
C5 G5 Eb5
Your devil clouds would blow away
C5 G5 Eb5
Your devil clouds would blow away
C5 G5
Your devil clouds would blow away
