[8 bars of drums and bass]
[Intro]
C#m E B A G#m
[Verse 1]
C#m
Waitin' for the pain and hurtin' to stop
E
But it keeps on till that last drop
B A G#m
And I know. Morning won't come easy
C#m
But the demons persist, and I'm lost my friend
E
I tried to drown them out with whiskey and gin
B A G#m
But I know. They'll win again
C#m
So why even try as I sit and get high
E
Let tomorrow me worry about bloodshot eyes
B A G#m
Still I know. I'm livin' a lie
C#m
I'm killin' myself in so many ways
E
I can hardly get outta this bed some days
B A G#m
But I know. I can't keep this pace
[Interlude]
C#m E B A G#m
[Verse 2]
C#m
It's all breakin' down and I'm losin' my touch
E
How'd it ever get to be this much
B A G#m
I don't know. But I'm breaking it down
C#m
I'll leave this bottle and old life behind
E
Find me the one and make her mine
B A G#m
Cuz I know. It's gonna take time
C#m
I'm in for a ride and from that I can't hide
E
But I got my people right here by my side
B A G#m
So I know. I can get through
[Interlude]
C#m E B A G#m
[Verse 3]
C#m
Scratchin' and clawin' to rebuild this life
E
I can't lose this battle to liquid or knife
B A G#m
Cuz I know. I can stay true
C#m
Tear it down to the studs, tear off old skin
E
Dry it all out and remodel again
B A G#m
So you'll know. I can begin
[Solo]
C#m E B A G#m x2
[Verse 4]
C#m
Still busy fighting my demons today
E
It's gotten easier, that I must say
B A G#m
And I know. I'll always win
[Outro]
C#m E B A G#m x2
