lyrics

Intro: Bm, E (3x) F#, B
E
I can self-destruct just fine all by myself

I don't need your help to destroy my mental health

I drank enough tonight to kill me

let's take one more shot and we'll see
B
if this hurt i've got will stop there at the grave

Chorus
E (walkdown)Emaj7 C#m
Well hey, if you can toss your better sense aside
E (walkdown)Emaj7 C#m
and you can turn the world into a ride
G#,C#m G#,C#m (F#, B)
So can I -- I // I -- I

Vs.2
I've worn regrets like they were patches
for broken hearts i've worn like badges
I've got medals, self-accusing
from wars I've lost and those I'm losing
but there's no valor to my candor
don't pretend it's something grander
I'm just done with fighting demons
behind the curtains of the saints
Chorus
But if you can bring yourself to say you tried
and you can pass your shame for some kind of pride
So can I -- I // I -- I
Bridge
E G#7
And it seems hope is right around the corner
C#m A
but i've got some disorder that pushes straight instead
E G#7
the worse the sin is, the more the consequences
C#m A
the more i'm on a mission to tally-ho ahead!

(Instrumental) E, G#7, C#m, A (chord climbs to E major)

back to half-intro: Bm, E (2x)
Vs3
I've been drunk while I was preaching
I've backslid while still believing
i'm still fighting off those demons
and i've tried fighting off the saints
and i've been told i've got a purpose
but i think everyone on earth does
but that don't keep us all from hurting
so i'm no more or less deserving of this
Chorus
But if you can see the truth behind the lies
and you can come out on the other side
So can I
