C#m                                  A
This is the part where I laugh at myself
And the world for thinking that things
      E
could actually change

Just like the old me you knew once before who
Almost destroyed and lost everything to
this same damn thing

I'm once again in my head, I'm way over my head
And I can't seem to find a place to put
all this pain

My hope is a fraud and I can't talk to God
I believed in the good of the world and
now I'm just ashamed

B
I want to drink 'cause I'm mad and I'm angry
                          C#m                    A
But I swore I promised my wife that I wouldn't drink
again
B
There were so many chances I had that I wasted
                C#m                       A
As time went on by that were never to be seen again
    B
And I never felt bad or guilty about moving
on with my life
             C#m                A
But I could never move on from you in the end
                A                         E
So I fight for love, come on break my heart
