Capo 1st fret

Intro: Em, D, C, D, G, D
Verse 1:
[Em]Sometimes life it [D]takes you by the hair, pulls you [C]down,
Before you [D]know it, it's [G]gone and you're [D]dead again.
[Em]I've been in places and I [D]won't pretend,
That I'd [C]make it out [D]just to [G]fall on my [D]head.
Verse 2:
[Em]Which is strange I take the [D]walk downstairs,
Hit the [C]pawn up on the [D]corner and [G]pay for my [D]rent.
[Em]You know that I could not [D]believe my own truth,
Just [C]show them what I [D]choose, got [G]nothing to [D]lose.

Chorus:
[Em]Yeah, yeah and it's O.[D]K.,
I tie my [C]hands up to a [D]chair so I don't [G]fall that [D]way.
[Em]Yea[D]h, yeah and I'm alright,
I took a [C]sip of something [D]poisoned but I'll [G]hold on [D]tight.
Instrumental: Em, D, C, D, G, D x2
Verse 3:
[Em]You know those days when you [D]want to just choose,
To not [C]get out of [D]bed, get [G]lost in your [D]head again.
[Em]You're playin' games but you [D]kind of cut,
'Cause you're [C]coming down [D]hard
and your [G]joints are all [D]stuck.
Verse 4:
[Em]I've tried to say that it's [D]not the only way,
I n[C]ever knew if [D]I could [G]face myself to [D]change.
[Em]You were impatient, I was [D]insecure,
Slip and [C]fall, I'm dodging [D]calls,
In the [G]prison I've been [D]living in.
(Chorus) x2
Instrumental: Em, D, C, D, G, D
(Chorus) x2
Outro:
[Em]Ooo[D]oo[C]o-[D]oo[G]oo[D]oh
