[Intro]
C/G G Em Em

[Verse 1]
C/G       G
Rememberin' I promised
          Em
to forget you now
         Em
But it's rainin' and
 I'm callin' drunk
C/G            G
And my medicine is drowning
        Em
 your perspective out
            Em
But I ain't taking any fault
C/G             G
Am I honest still? Am I
                  Em
half the man I used to be
         Em
I doubt it, forget about it,
 whatever
C/G     G       Em         D
It's all the same anyways

[Chorus]
C/G                        G
I ain't proud of all the punches
 that I've thrown
D                      Em
In the name of someone I no
 longer know
C/G                        G
For the shame of being young,
drunk, and alone
D
Traffic lights and
        Em
 a transmitter radio
C/G
I don't like that when
       G
they threw me in the car
D                       Em
I gave your name as my emergency
 phone call
           C/G
Honey it, rang and rang,
               G
even the cops thought you were
                       D
 wrong for hanging up
           Em*
I'll dial drunk,
 I'll die a drunk,
        C/G         G Em Em
 I'll die for you

[Verse 2]
C/G            G
I’m untethering from the
                   Em
 parts of me you recognize
     Em
From charming to alarming
in seconds
C/G              G
I’ll be bedridden, I’ll let
            Em
 the pain metastasize
           Em
But that’s morning, oh forget it
C/G             G
And the dial tone is
   Em         D
all I have
