[Intro] C7 G [Verse] Em A7 Wonder how I didn’t die C Cm G This is not my life. I’m no survivor, D B7 Em I only happened to survive. A7 Wonder how I sleep at night C Well I count pink elephants, blessings and skeletons, D7 Down the days I have left, with one eye open G That was me screaming G7 “bitch I am reality” C Then stumbling off to lose myself A7 in a brown paper bag, ‘cause me and G B Sweet Evan Williams have a date Em Emmaj7 down on Avenue A staving shakes Em7 Em6 scraping change till daybreak A Turns out anyone can eat out the trash D Then wake up on the freeway mid-crash

[Chorus]
G
I was drunk
D
When I made my bed
D7
Now with the half-decade hangover
C G
I lay down in it
C7 G
What have I done?
D
Don’t know what I’ve said?
D7
It’s a half-decade hungover
B7 Em
Either this, in jail or dead
C
It’s a half-decade hungover
Cm G
Jesus Christ, my aching head

Em A7
Waste not, want not borrowed time
C Cm
Lender knows I’ve tried
G
To make it right,
D B7
give back my life and if not
Em
Take it ‘cause lately
I’ve been thinking maybe I could
A7
Take it or leave it if
I can’t at least break even
then I’m leaving when
C
I been feelin’ this awful
since I hit bottom then
D7
said “hand me my shovel,
man, I’m going in!”
G
Oh brother -man,
G7
you call that recovered?
C
Tripped on a couple steps,
A7
and collapsed on the stairs
G
Broke my neck on the backs of
B7
those who I’ve hurt and scared
Em Emmaj7
Like it’s a good thing you said
Em7 Em6
“you’ve got your whole life ahead”
A7
Oh great, another half
a century to live to regret
D7
I’d rather be anybody else instead
