Blame It On Bad Luck

	  		
Bm         A 
  Pound my knuckles  
G                     F#m 
hard against the floor 
   Em                   F 
My head against the wall 
      F#                A 
But I did this to myself 
  Bm             A   G 
Assume it's just not worth 
               F#m 
getting back up   but  
     Em                  F 
I'll blame it on bad luck 
     F#                  A Bm   <   Guitar Enters 
I'll shake responsibility 
 
  

verse 1: 
Bm 
  I spent some time in  
A     Em       F#m 
a bad place at 18 
Bm              D 
wishing I could see  
          Em 
something through clear 
F#m Bm 
eyes  Do you ever wake up 
   A      Em 
to realize  that your 
        F#m 
life is meaningless? 
        Bm 
Does it give you strength 
   D 
or lead you to your  
Em               F#m 
grave at a young age? 

Bm         A 
  Pound my knuckles  
G                     F#m 
hard against the floor 
   Em                   F 
My head against the wall 
      F#                F#/Bb 
But I did this to myself 
  Bm             A   G 
Assume it's just not worth 
               F#m 
getting back up   but  
     Em                  F 
I'll blame it on bad luck 
     F# 
I'll shake responsibility
  


Post Chorus: Guitar Solo 
Bm Em F# x2 


verse 2: 
Bm 
  It seems that when  
  A    Em 
I ran away from  
F#m     Bm          D 
my past all my dignity my  
      Em           F#m 
faith my pride got left back 
Bm 
  And now I think it's time that  
  A      Em            F#m 
I realize  self pity's meaningless 
       Bm 
Though I'm 10 feet deep 
     D 
I'll claw my way back  
Em             F#m 
out from in my grave 



Bm         A 
  Pound my knuckles  
G                     F#m 
hard against the floor 
   Em                   F 
My head against the wall 
      F#                F#/Bb 
But I did this to myself 
  Bm             A   G 
Assume it's just not worth 
               F#m 
getting back up   but  
     Em                  F 
I'll blame it on bad luck 
     F# 
I'll shake responsibility 
         Em(hold) 
And I'll save a hard life 
    A(hold) 
You did this to me

Bridge: 
G           D      F# 
  But now I realize  I'd give  
Bm A       G 
anything I have to walk  
  D                F# 
a day in those old shoes 
Wondering what  
   G 
my first smoke 
      D      F# 
would be like  my first 
Bm      A         G 
fuck my next fuck up 
            D 
Or the next band that 
             F# 
would change my life 
                  G   A F#/Bb  
and it changed my life 
Bm                  G   A F#/Bb(Hold)    
  and it changed my life 


Bm         A 
  Pound my knuckles  
G                     F#m 
hard against the floor 
   Em                   F 
My head against the wall 
      F#                F#/Bb 
But I did this to myself 
  Bm             A   G 
Assume it's just not worth 
               F#m 
getting back up   but 
     Em                  F 
I'll blame it on bad luck 
     F# 
I'll shake responsibility 
         G 
And I'll save a hard life 
    A        F#/Bb  Bm(hold) 
You did this to   me
