[Intro]
Em C G D

[Verse]
Em
The plot thickens, I’m lost drinkin’ this hard liquor
C
I’m trynna put together pieces of this cropped picture
G
I wrote this record with my finger in a fogged mirror
D
And as soon as I was honest then it got clearer
Em
They say I talk about anxiety too much
C
But sobriety’s too tough and I can’t hide it when I’m drunk
G
They say I talk about the pressure way too often

D
I was walkin’ on the beach and found my message in a bottle
Em
My head was full of sorrow and my centerpiece was hollow
C
I look happy on the surface but what’s underneath the potholes?
G
It’s not that easy just to change if I wanted to
D
When I maybe responsible for the pain that you all been through
Em
I’ve been basically walkin’ across the plank with no socks or shoes
C
But I hope you know I love you by the way that I talk to you
G
Cause, the good days can turn into bad days
D
And the bad days make it hard to have faith

[Chorus]
Em
I’m a fck up
C
And I hate that I am this way
G
I’m a lowlife
D
I use a mask to disguise my pain
Em
I’m a douchebag
C
I blame you cause I won’t blame myself
G
I’m a reject
D
But I’m honest and I need your help
Em
I’m a fck up
C
And I hate that I am this way
G
I’m a lowlife
D
I use a mask to disguise my pain
Em
I’m a douchebag
C
I blame you cause I won’t blame myself
G
I’m a reject
D
But I’m honest and I need your help
I swear I need your help

[Verse 2]
Em
I know the truth, it’s still as hard to face the music
C
Before I drink and light a smoke and then the combination ruthless
G
You only see my scars but there’s a lot of scrapes and bruises
D
I got what it takes to do this, I can’t tolerate just losin’
Em
I’m jumping over all the cracks in the sidewalk
C
I’m being honest, I’m not like these other rappers you follow
G
Got one hand on the rifle, the other hand on the Bible
D
I live my best life today cause it won’t happen tomorrow
Em
Been on the cusp of insanity
How the fk is this happenin’
C
All a sudden I’m successful, gettin’ money and travelin’
G
With my mother and my father and my beautiful wifey
D
I got my team and my day-ones, so fuck you, you don’t like it
Em
Bitch, I’m busy being me, I’m never followin’ these trends
C
I guess me being a reject is just part of who I am
G
Damn right, I’m a fuck up
D
Fuck yeah, I’m a lowlife
I’d rather be the person I am than live your life

[Chorus]
Em
I’m a fck up
C
And I love that I am this way
G
I’m a lowlife
D
But it’s fine, all be okay
Em
I’m a douchebag
C
But I’m learnin’ how to love myself
G
I’m a reject
D
It’s okay, I hate everyone else
Em
I’m a fck up
C
And I love that I am this way
G
I’m a lowlife
D
But it’s fine, all be okay
Em
I’m a douchebag
C
But I’m learnin’ how to love myself
G
I’m a reject
D
It’s okay, I hate everyone else
I hate everyone else
