Sometimes life it takes you by the hand  
C				D 
It puts you down before you know it  
G				D 
It's gone and you're dead again 
Em				D 
I've been in places and I won't pretend  
C		D 
That I make it I just  
G	D	Em 
Follow my head 
Em				D 
When it's strange to take a walk downstairs  
C				D 
Sweep you all up on a corner 
G				D 
And pay for my bread 
Em				D 
You know that I cannot believe my own truth  
C		D 
To show what a truth 
G	D	Em 
Got nothing to lose  


Em			D 
Yeah yeah and it's okay  
C			D 
I tie my hands up to a chair 
G			D 
So I don't fall that way 
Em			D 
Yeah yeah and I'm alright  
C			D 
I took a sip of something poison  
G	D	Em 
But I'll hold on tight  


You know those days when you wanted to choose  
To not get out of bed and  
Get lost in your head again 
You play the game but you gotta cut  
Cuz' you're coming down hard  
Your joints are off stud 
I tried to say that's not the only way  
I never knew if I could 
Convince myself to change 
You were pacing I was insecure 
Slip and fall I got the calls of the  
Prison I was living in 


Yeah yeah and it's okay 
I tie my hands up to a chair 
So I don't fall that way 
Yeah yeah and I'm alright 
I took a sip of something poison  
But I'll hold on tight
