I ain't coming in here.
I'm coming in a minute.
Hey [D] yo, [Bm] this is my [F#m] love [C] song.
[C#m] It goes like this.
[Gm] Back when Mark Wahlberg was Marky Mark.
This is how we used to make the party start.
We used to mix in with Picardy Dark.
And when it kicks in, you can hardly talk.
And by the sixth in, you're gonna probably [F] crawl.
And you'll be sick then, and you'll probably barf.
And my prediction is you're gonna probably fall.
Either somewhere in the lobby or the hallway [Em] wall.
And everything's spinning.
You're [G] beginning to think women are swimming in pink linen.
Again in the same thing.
In a couple of minutes, that bottle of Guinness is [C#m] finished.
[Em] You are now allowed to officially slap bitches.
You have the right to remain [E] violent and start [G] wiling.
Start a fight with the same guy that was Smart Island.
Get in your car, start it, and start [C#] driving.
Over [Em] the island, the car's a 42 car pileup.
Earth calling, [G] pilot to co [D#]-pilot.
Looking for life on this planet, [G] sir.
No sign of it.
All I can see is a bunch of smoke [C#m] flying.
And I'm [Em] so high that I might die if I go by it.
Let me out of this place.
I'm out of [G] place.
I'm in out of state.
I've just vanished without a trace.
I'm going to a pretty place now [C#] with a flower to grow.
[Em] I'll be back in an hour or so.
So this [N] time I'm gonna try to leave.
Somebody's pulling my sleeve.
I don't want it, but I gotta stay.
These drugs really got a hold of me.
Because every time I try to tell them no,
They won't let me ever let them go.
I'm a sucker, all I gotta say.
These drugs really got a hold of me.
[Em]
In third grade, all I [Gm] used to do was sniff [G] glue through a tube and play [Gm] Rubik's Cube.
17 [G] years later, I'm as rude as Jew.
[A] Scheming [Em] on the first chicks with the hugest boobs.
I got no game, and every face looks the same.
They got no [D#] name, so I don't need [Gm] game to play.
I just say whatever I want to whoever I want.
[D] Whenever I [Em] want, wherever I want, however I want.
However, I do show some respect to few.
This [D#] ecstasy's got me standing [G] next to you.
Getting sentimental as fuck, spilling guts to you.
[A#] We just met, but I [Em] think I'm in love with you.
But you're in it too, so you tell me you [G] love me too.
[G#m] Wake up in the morning, like, [G] yeah, what the fuck we do?
I gotta go, bitch.
You know I got stuff to do.
[C#] Cause if I [Em] get caught cheating, then I'm stuck with you.
But in the long run, these [G] drugs are probably gonna catch up sooner or later.
But fuck it, I'm on one, so let's enjoy.
Let the ex destroy [C#] your spinal cord, so it's not [Em] a straight line no more.
So we walk around looking like some [E] wind-up dolls.
Shit sticking [D#] out of our backs like a [G] dinosaur.
Shit, six hits won't even get me high no more.
[C#] So bye for now, I'm gonna [Em] try to find some more.
[N] Cause every time I go to try to leave, some keeps pulling in my sleeve.
I don't want it, but I gotta stay.
These drugs really got a hold of me.
Cause every time I try to tell them no, they won't let me ever let them go.
I'm a sucker, all I gotta say.
These drugs really got a hold of me.
[Em]
That's the sound of a bottle when it's hollow.
[G] When you swallow it all, wallow and drown in your sorrow.
And tomorrow you're probably gonna wanna do it again.
[C#m] What's a little [Em] spinal fluid between you and a friend?
Screw it.
And what's a little bit of [E] alcohol [G] poisoning?
And what's a little fight?
Tomorrow you'll be poised again.
It's your life, live it however you wanna.
[C#] Marriage you wanna is [Em] everywhere.
Where was you brought up?
It don't matter, as long as you get [G] where you're going.
Cause none of this shit's gonna mean shit where we're going.
They tell you to stop, but you just sit there ignoring.
[C#m] Even though you [Em] wake up feeling like shit every morning.
But you're young, you got a lot of [G] drugs to do.
Girls to [D#] screw, parties [G] to crash, sucks to be you.
If I could take it all back now, I wouldn't.
[A] I would've did [Em] more shit than people said that I shouldn't.
But I'm all grown up now and upgraded and graduated.
[G] To better drugs and updated.
But I still got a lot of growing up to do.
I [C#m] still got [Em] a whole lot of throwing up to spew.
But when it's all [E] said and done, I'll be 40 [G] before I know it.
With a 40 on a porch telling stories.
With a bottle of Jack, two grandkids in my lap.
[A] Babysitting [Em] for Haley, while Haley's out getting smashed.
Cause every time I go to try to leave,
[D] Some keeps pulling on my sleeves.
I don't want it but I gotta stay.
Cause these drugs really [N] got a hold of me.
Cause every time I try to tell them no,
They won't let me ever let them go.
I'm a sufferer, all I gotta say,
Drugs really got a hold of me.
Cause every time I go to try to leave,
Some keeps pulling on my sleeve.
I don't want it but I gotta stay.
Drugs really got a hold of me.
[A] Cos every time I try to tell them no,
They won't let me [G#m] ever let them go I'm a sucker, all I gotta say
[N] This drug's really got a hold of me This drug's really got a hold of me
It really got a hold of me This drug's really got a hold of me
It really got a hold of me
