[8 bars of drums and bass]

[Intro]
C#m E B A G#m

[Verse 1]
C#m
Waitin' for the pain and hurtin' to stop
    E
But it keeps on till that last drop
      B                         A G#m
And I know.  Morning won't come easy

        C#m
But the demons persist, and I'm lost my friend
  E
I tried to drown them out with whiskey and gin
      B                   A G#m
But I know.  They'll win again

   C#m
So why even try as I sit and get high
  E
Let tomorrow me worry about bloodshot eyes
        B                   A G#m
Still I know.  I'm livin' a lie

    C#m
I'm killin' myself in so many ways
  E
I can hardly get outta this bed some days
      B                        A G#m
But I know.  I can't keep this pace

[Interlude]
C#m E B A G#m

[Verse 2]
C#m
It's all breakin' down and I'm losin' my touch
E
How'd it ever get to be this much
        B                          A G#m
I don't know.  But I'm breaking it down

      C#m
I'll leave this bottle and old life behind
  E
Find me the one and make her mine
      B                      A G#m
Cuz I know.  It's gonna take time

    C#m
I'm in for a ride and from that I can't hide
  E
But I got my people right here by my side
     B                   A G#m
So I know.  I can get through

[Interlude]
C#m E B A G#m

[Verse 3]
C#m
Scratchin' and clawin' to rebuild this life
E
I can't lose this battle to liquid or knife
      B                 A G#m
Cuz I know.  I can stay true

        C#m
Tear it down to the studs, tear off old skin
  E
Dry it all out and remodel again
          B              A G#m
So you'll know.  I can begin

[Solo]
C#m E B A G#m x2

[Verse 4]
C#m
Still busy fighting my demons today
    E
It's gotten easier, that I must say
      B                  A G#m
And I know.  I'll always win

[Outro]
C#m E B A G#m x2
