[Intro]
Em D C D G D
[Verse]
Em D C
Sometimes life it takes you by the hair, pulls you down,
D G D
Before you know it, it's gone and you're dead again.
Em D
I've been in places and I won't pretend,
C D G D
That I'd make it out just to fall on my head.
[Verse]
Em D
Which is strange I take the walk downstairs,
C D G D
Hit the pawn up on the corner and pay for my rent.
Em D
You know that I could not believe my own truth,
C D G D
Just show them what I choose, got nothing to lose.
[Chorus]
Em D
Yeah, yeah and it's okay,
C D G D
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way.
Em D
Yeah, yeah and I'm alright,
C D G D
I took a sip of something poisoned but I'll hold on tight.
[Instrumental]

Em D
You know those days when you want to just choose,
C D G D
To not get out of bed, get lost in your head again.
Em D
You're playin' games but you kind of cut,
C D
'Cause you're coming down hard
G D
and your joints are all stuck.
[Verse]
Em D
I've tried to say that it's not the only way,
C D G D
I never knew if I could face myself to change.
Em D
You were impatient, I was insecure,
C D
Slip and fall, I'm dodging calls,
G D
In the prison I've been living in.
[Chorus]
Em D
Yeah, yeah and it's okay,
C D G D
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way.
