Here's Overdose, my favorite song I've written so far. It's based on a true event :( -Kaylea
Verse:
C G
You say you didn't think it'd end like this.
Am F
Washed down three pills of Oxycontin with tequila.
C G
Did you really not see it coming?
Am F
Darling, did you think you would be fine?
C G
Getting high on the taste of a sweet lime.
Am F
Oh oh, did you think they would let this go?
Chorus:
C
Oh, you did this to yourself.
G
Oh, daddy's gonna sit you up on the highest shelf.
Am
Escape isn't the same as rehab.
F
Tell me, do you really need that?
C G
Do you want to get stuck in a comatose...
Am F
Because of a stupid overdose?
Verse:
C G
Now you're on lock down in your bedroom.
Am F
Your boyfriend sneaking out just to check on you.
C G
Did you think nobody would find out why?
Am
You threw up in the morning but pretended to be alright.
F
Oh oh, you can't even tell a good lie.
Chorus:
C
Oh, you did this to yourself.
G
Oh, daddy's gonna sit you up on the highest shelf.
Am
Escape isn't the same as rehab.
F
Tell me, do you really need that?
C G
Do you want to get stuck in a comatose...
Am F
Because of a stupid overdose?
Verse x2:
C G
Sure, I feel sorry that this is what you chose to do.
Am F
Now I get to teach a class on what happened to you.
C G
Better fix what you can of this mistake,
Am F
Before it winds up being too late.
Chorus x2:
C
Oh, you did this to yourself.
G
Oh, daddy's gonna sit you up on the highest shelf.
Am
Escape isn't the same as rehab.
F
Tell me, do you really need that?
C G
Do you want to get stuck in a comatose...
Am F
Because of a stupid overdose?
The event described in this song actually happened to one of my (used to be) close friends.
