Chords for Dunn D - An Open Letter to My Former Self

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] What's happening, bruv?
See you out there having some fun
[Em] Came out swinging, you was packing a punch card
Showing off in the [G] limelight and you was lapping the dump
[Am] And yeah, you had a good run
When life's cut you down, you just rack up a bump
Guess the problems [Em] you encounter don't matter as much
When you mag out a drunk sitting in the back of [A] a club
But what in the actual fuck
You went from smashing your craft
To just smashing a drug
[E] Sitting in a man's dreams with junkies and packity sluts
So tell [Em] me, is that the same dream you had when you were [Am] young?
What have you become?
Lost your passion and love
Lost your morals [E] when you were catching the bust
Instead of acting your age, you was acting a cunt
But you're gonna be [Em] held accountable to your actions and wants
[Am] So when your daughter grows up and gets here with the truth
How do you explain everything you spit in the [E] booth?
How do you explain hanging with a criminal crew?
How do you provide context to what you're listening [Am] to?
But now you don't give a fuck and that's the position you choose
Cause you're naive and couldn't envision a new
[E] Stuck in an infinite loop, forever singing the blues
Trying to validate yourself with some in and out [Am] views
I see you swerving on the flippers and booze
Blissfully unaware the ignorance of innocent [E] youth
But it's time to [Em] take responsibility for the shit you do
Cause you've only got [A] yourself to blame when it didn't improve
And [Am] they end up using your depression as a shitty excuse
As your rationale for laughing at you living a do
Talking about [Em] drugs on a stage when there's kids in the room
Stop being so selfish, cunt, I'm fucking bigger [Am] than you
You can pretend like it never occurred
That your fans were hanging off your each and every word
But [E] tell me, what is your intelligence worth?
If you're [Em] dumb and a downer, so you can sell them a [Am] verse of me
What purpose did the Pelican Surf turn you to Icarus?
You thought you put them feathers [E] to work
You thought they'd carry you from here to the ends of the earth
But flew too close to the sun and it left you with burnt skin
[Am] But you was proud of the weight of the scar
Gave you an excuse to act the way that you [E] are
Feeding yourself scripts, you kept laying apart
So the light at the end of the tunnel but remained in [Am] the dark
And I know you got some pain in your heart
But at least you never lost your way with them bars
But you [E] lost your way in some bars
I seen you draining a glass, you was making a mess of yourself
Instead of making your [Am] mark
But party up if you think it'll help
Eating the profits most nice, you're an opinion [E] to yourself
Keep pretending to yourself that you're giving them hell
Will you pour another glass off and have a drink to your health?
[Am] You have another drink to your health
But you want a six foot deep or in a prison cell
[E] See only you can make the choice about your living as well
[Em] But it's hard to see what lies ahead when you're killing [Am] yourself
You still remember it all?
A handful of zanis in that handy to pour
You [Em] was lucky as hell, counter would've ended for sure
If your [E] mother ain't hear the noise when you hit your head on the floor
[Am] You was afraid of the climb but never scared of the fall
Bro you ain't playing a game, you just checking [E] a score
But if you ready to jump, then best be ready to soar
And I promise you it [Em] gets better than you could've ever have thought
[Am] Bring a tear to your face for all the times you fucked up
And were clearly [E] ashamed, just to catch a glimpse of you
You're not ashamed to be ashamed of yourself when you're nearing a stage
On the other side of the world and a cheer [Am] in your name
But just to see your daughter's beautiful smile
You wanna set the best example you could provide
[E] It's up to you what you do with your life
But if only I could show you what the future is [Am] like _
Whatever happened to them [E] dreams you had?
Why you keep [Em] lying to yourself like [Am] that?
You better take the time to make [E] things right
It's up to you and how you [Am] live your life
What if you're a bad person?
Whatever happened to them dreams you [Em] had?
Why you keep lying to yourself [Am] like that?
You better take the time to [E] make things [Em] right
It's up to you and how you live your [Am] life
