 C              Cm              G             D       B7     Em
This is not my life. I’m no survivor, I only happened to survive.
               A7
Wonder how I sleep at night
        C
Well I count pink elephants, blessings and skeletons,
D7
Down the days I have left, with one eye open
  G                                G7
That was me screaming “xxxxx I am reality”
                       C                 A7
Then stumbling off to lose myself in a brown paper bag, ‘cause me and
  G                         B7                Em         Em7              Em7            Em 
Sweet Evan Williams have a date down on Avenue a staving shakes scraping change till daybreak
           A7
Turns out anyone can eat out the trash
         D
Then wake up on the freeway mid-crash

Chorus:
        G
I was drunk
                D
When I made my bed
              D7
Now with the half-decade hangover
        C     G  C7
I lay down in it
 D7          G
What have I done?
                      D
Don’t know what I’ve said?
            D7
It’s a half-decade hungover
        B7               Em
Either this, in jail or dead
        C
It’s a half-decade hungover

Jesus Christ, my aching head

Waste not, want not borrowed time
C                  Cm
Lender knows I’ve tried
            G                   D       B7
To make it right, give back my life and if not
 Em
Take it ‘cause lately I’ve been thinking maybe I could
            A7
Take it or leave it if I can’t at least break even then I’m leaving when
        C
I been feelin’ this awful since I hit bottom then
 D7
said “hand me my shovel, man, I’m going in!”
     G                            G7
Oh brother -man, you call that recovered?
              C                    A7
Tripped on a couple steps, and collapsed on the stairs
          G                             B7
Broke my neck on the backs of those who I’ve hurt and scared
             Em           Em7                     Em7         Em 
Like it’s a good thing you said “you’ve got your whole life ahead”
            A7
Oh great, another half a century to live to regret
            D7
I’d rather be anybody else instead

Chorus:
               G
‘Cause I was drunk
                D
When I made my bed
              D7
Now with the half-decade hangover
        C     G  C7
I lay down in it
 D7          G
What have I done?

Don’t know what I’ve said?

 G                                   G7
Sober, but still so much still hangs over.
                          C                        C7
Please believe me when I say I’ve poured my whole past down the drain
         D7                     B7
Say that a second chance is a chance I can take
       Em        Em7              Em7         Em 
But I can’t make amends for things I don’t remember
             A7                    B7
I can only say “I’m sorry” and occasionally pray
             Em           Em7     Em7             Em 
Guess you’ll just have to take my word that I’ve changed
      D7                            D
After one thousand eight hundred twenty five days

Chorus:
        G
I was drunk

When I made my bed
              D7
Now with the half-decade hangover
        C     G  C7
I lay down in it
 D7          G
What have I done?
                      D
Don’t know what I’ve said?
            D7
It’s a half-decade hungover
        B7        Em
Hand me my ibuprofen
        C
It’s a half-decade hungover
       Cm                  G
Jesus Christ, my aching head
