[ch]G[/ch]\r\nThe irony, everyone will think that \"He lied to me\"[/tab]\r\n[tab]           [ch]C[/ch]\r\nMade my sobriety so public, there's no fucking privacy[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]Am[/ch]

                  [ch]F[/ch]\r\nOr will I just take my slip to the grave?[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                     [ch]G[/ch]\r\nWhat the fuck are my parents gonna say?[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]C[/ch]\r\nThe success story that got his life together and changed[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]Am[/ch]                    [ch]G[/ch]\r\nAnd you know, what pain looks like[/tab]\r\n[tab]

judged for my mistakes[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]Am[/ch]                     [ch]G[/ch]\r\nThan falsely held up, given props, loved and praised[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]C[/ch]\r\nI guess, I gotta get this on the page[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]Am[/ch]                  [ch]G[/ch]\r\nFeeling sick and helpless, lost the compass where self is[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]
