Intro
B
 
Verse 1
BYou were shouting
Through the screen door
CWith my back turned towards you in the driveway
BI said, “What the hell you gotta scream at me for?”
CYou said, "You aren't gonna listen any other way"
Cm BNow I'm laid out on the sidewalk
CYou're my first dial after last call
BRinging you up
CmJust to ****-talk
C‘Til I pass out
 
Pre-Chorus
Bmdim7 Cm
If you ask how I've been doing
CI won't lie
BMore than half the time
Bmaj7sus2/C
I'm only skating by
Cm CWaiting for the ice to melt beneath me
 
Chorus
B Badd11
Why Do I keep at it?
CSometimes it makes me feel better
BSometimes it makes me feel worse
Badd11
Used to think that it was magic
C BNow I'm sure that it's a curse
CSpend your whole life getting clean
BJust to wind up in the dirt
Badd11
Got a shortcut into paradise
CThat's killing me but I still
BGotta try to get there first

Verse 2
BYou were swinging for the fences
C BYou were running over every cup
Now you're stuck back digging ditches
C BStill can't decide if you've run out of luck
Cm B‘Cause it feels like winning tickets at the arcade
C BJust to trade ‘em in for stuff
Cm BThat you don't want, and you don't need
C Cm7 B/G Badd11But all that you can take never feels like enough.
 
 
Chorus
C Cm7'Cause sometimes it makes you feel better
C BSometimes it makes you feel worse
Badd11
Used to think that it was magic, oh
C BNow you're sure that it's a curse
CSpend your whole life getting clean
BJust to wind up in the dirt
Badd11
Got a shortcut into paradise
CThat's killing me but I still
BGotta try to get there first
