Dm C
I never thought this could be me
F G
I guess you never do, 'til it's happening to you
Dm C
like all the fun turns into shame
F G
and all the "could have beens" rearrange
Dm C F G
so little time so many crimes, guilt like a chain chokes my will away
Dm C
redemption never seemed so cruel
F G
and all my gods never seemed so weak
Dm F G
Wake up engage now derailed and enraged
C
it used to be so easy
Dm F G C
get up I'm game now I'm sick and I'm tame counting cost with lost

Drink to pills to shots put me into shock

G
the hammer hits and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down
and I'm down and
Dm
trust no one
C F
hey why should I, they gave me the poison dressed like life
G
cheated smacked up and diseased cry to sleep and fight to eat
Dm C
used to be a pro at this
F
now I've broken my own wrist
G
rotten teeth and life unsung you'll forget me when I'm gone
Dm F G
Wake up engage now derailed and enraged
C

I used to be a lot like you but now I'm only me
Dm C F G
I used to be a lot like you but now I'm only me I'm only me
