[INTRO]
Am F C
[VERSE 1]
Am F C
Empty frames on the floor
Am F C
There's nothing left to prove who I was before
F G
I'll burn the pictures before I leave
Am
And wipe my prints off from the scene
F G E
The embers will help me to grieve
[CHORUS]
G Am
I need a drink to take
F G
To take me through the day
C Am
Sometimes I lie awake
F G
And think of my mistakes
C F
Was there ever a time when we weren't dying
C E F
And I wasn't lying? I know I fucked up
G Am
The last two years of your life.
[VERSE 2]
Am F C
Empty boxes by the door
Am F C
I'm throwing out all the clothes that I once wore
Am F C
They just don't seem to fit my shape right now
Am F C
My appetite for holding on has been washed down.
F G
I'm on a liquid diet of
Am
Cheap beer and wasted love
F G E
Tomorrow I will pay the price
[CHORUS]
G Am
I need a drink to take
F G
To take me through the day
C Am
Sometimes I lie awake
F G
And think of my mistakes
C F
Was there ever a time when we weren't dying
C E F
And I wasn't lying? I know I fucked up
G
This is my last goodbye
Am
I've hurt you enough
[BRIDGE]
C
I know the morning's going to hurt
E
But fuck it cause I know this works
Am G F
"So just take out another glass and pour."
C
Send the shivers down my spine
E
Calm the shakes with rotten wine
Am G F
If I don't get out of this house I'll die
G
Or waste more of my life
[CHORUS]
G Am
I need a drink to take
F G
To take me through the day
C Am
Sometimes I lie awake
F G
And think of my mistakes
C F
Was there ever a time when we weren't dying
C E F
And I wasn't lying? I know I fucked up
G
This is my last goodbye
Am
I've hurt you enough
