[Verse 1]
EAnd I feel again Blosing my mind
C#mBanging my head up Aagainst the wall.
EStaring at nothing cause BI can't sleep at night
C#mCan't make it stop, yeah AI think too much.
EWhat do I do? BFalling apart
C#mI need a shock straight Ato my heart.
ENo one would Bwant to be in my sAhoes right now, oBh.
[Chorus]
EI don't reach for the bottle of whisky
(Straight on the rocks)
BBut you won't see me popping the pills
(P-p-popping the pills)
