Fm D# C# Sometimes life it takes you by the hair, pulls you down, D# G# D# Before you know it, it's gone and you're dead again. Fm D# I've been in places and I won't pretend, C# D# G# D# That I'd make it out just to fall on my head. Wake up strange and take the walk downstairs Hit the pawn up on the corner and pay for my rent You know that I could not believe my own truth Just show 'em what I choose, got nothing to lose, oh Chorus: Fm D# Yeah, yeah and it's okay, C# D# G# D# I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way. Fm D# Yeah, yeah and I'm alright, C# D# G# D# I took a sip of something poisoned but I'll hold on tight. You know those days when you wanna just choose To not get out of bed, you're lost in your head again You play the game, but you kind of cut 'Cause you're coming down hard, your joints are all stuck I've tried to say that it's not the only way I never knew if I could face myself to change You were pacing, I was insecure Slip and fall, I'm dodging calls, hug the prison I've been living in Chorus: Fm D# Yeah, yeah and it's okay, C# D# G# D# I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way. Fm D# Yeah, yeah and I'm alright, C# D# G# D# I took a sip of something poisoned but I'll hold on tight. Fm D# Yeah, yeah and it's okay, C# D# G# D# I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way. Fm D# Yeah, yeah and I'm alright, C# D# G# D# I took a sip of something poisoned but I'll hold on tight. - x2 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC#  D#  Fm  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
