Intro: C7 D7 G Verse: Em A7 Wonder how I didn’t die 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 Cm G Jesus Christ, my aching head Verse: Em A7 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? 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 Cm G Jesus Christ, my aching head Bridge: Em C7 C Cm G B Em A7 C D 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 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 Hand me my ibuprofen C It’s a half-decade hungover Cm G Jesus Christ, my aching head
Thank you for the song. However, there are a few wrong words and the name God, Jesus and He are not capitalized at all throughout the song. This is important as they are names. And all names are capitalized. Also “g” depicts a false god, where as the “G” depicts the one true God.
Corrections to verse 1:
Line 2:A love that’s never failing
Line 3:THE Hope of nations
Corrections to verse 2:
Take me as you find me
With all my fears AND FAILURES
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
EVERYTHING I believe in
NOW I surrender…..
Thank you again, this is one of my favourite, songs and I just started to learn the uke.
+3
+3 is great
Transpose to -2, capo on the second fret (if you want to stay in the same key)
It works brilliantly transposed +3 (beginner chords).
amen!
+3 is really easy
Amen. Praise the lord
Put it to +3 much easier chords?
The chord at the end of each line in the bridge doesn’t fit for me. I don’t get time to do it. Am I doing the timing wrong?
