This is Scorpion chords by PUP on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Intro]
E                              A                   E
Up on Scorpion Hill watching life
B
Passing me by in the pale moonlight
E                                            C#m
And I sat there forever, three sheets to the wind
B
It’s not helping my case, the state that I’m in

A                              E
But it’s not how they told you
A                                            E
My intentions were good
A                              E
I was just bursting apart like the end of the ark
C#m                F#m                A
Holding on to whatever I could

[Verse 1]
E A E A C#m B A
E                              B                              A
A square of light moves its way through the empty room
E                                            F#m
Across the stained yellow carpet
E                              B                              A
Like a ghost of myself in the afternoon
C
Haunting my basement apartment
B                              C
I looked in to the mirror

C#m                              A
Hanging behind my door
B                                                          C
The glass was cracked and the man staring back
C#m                              A
He don’t look like me anymore
B
And if the world is gonna burn
C
Everyone should get a turn to light it up

[Chorus]
E B C#m A (x2)
E B
C#m A E B C#m A E B
Down and out, I’ve been on the rocks
C#m                A                E                A                F#m
I’ve been having some pretty dark thoughts
B                Cm
Yeah, I like them a lot

[Verse 2]
E A E A C#m B A
E                                            B                                            A
Time and time again, well I’ve tried and failed to get my act together
E                              G#m                              A
And I’ll admit lately things really went off the rails
C
I know that you deserve better
B                                            C
But in the morning, as I was boarding
C#m                              A
The commuter train to work
B                                                                        C
The boss was calling, he said, “There’s been cutbacks and
C#m                              A
I’m sorry you’re the first”
B
And If I can’t support the two of us
Cm
How can I support a third?

[Chorus]
E B
C#m A E B C#m A E B
Down and out, I’ve been on the rocks
C#m A E A F#m
I’ve been having some pretty dark thoughts

[Bridge]
B
And I’m on the brink
E
Falling deep into debt
A
Falling deep into drink
F#m
I can drown those regrets
B
I don’t have to think
A E
Now I’m working the night shift
A E
Asleep at the wheel
A E
I was bursting apart like a flame from a spark
C#m F#m
Thinkin’ “Jesus, this can’t be for real”

[Verse 3]
A E
My sweat-soaked mattress
A E
Corner of the room
A E
Cigarettes and matches
C#m F#m
In the fading afternoon
A
And a picture of my kid, yeah, he’s smiling
E
It’s the first day of school

[Outro]
E B C#m A (x4)
F#m B E
She said, “I found the gun, it was buried beneath
E F#m
Piles of clothes in the room where your son sleeps
B E
And I can’t pretend, to know how this will end”
