[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

[Verse]
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

I been feelin’ this awful
since I hit bottom then

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

‘Cause I was drunk

When I made my bed

Now with the half-decade hangover

I lay down in it
 C7          G
What have I done?

Don’t know what I’ve said?
            D7
It’s a half-decade hungover

[Bridge]
Em  C7  C  Cm  G  B  Em  A7  C  D
 G
Sober, but still so
                 G7
much still hangs over.
                          C
Please believe me when I say I’ve
                 C7
poured my whole past down the drain
         D7
Say that a second chance
       B
is a chance I can take
       Em        Emmaj7
But I can’t make amends
          Em7         Em6
for things I don’t remember
             A7
I can only say “I’m sorry”
        B7
and occasionally pray
             Em           Emmaj7
Guess you’ll just have to take
   Em7             Em6
my word that I’ve changed
      D7
After one thousand eight
           D
hundred twenty five days

[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
Hand me my ibuprofen
        C
It’s a half-decade hungover
       Cm                  G
Jesus Christ, my aching head
