[G]
If I'm gonna leave the table, [Bb] then pour me another drink.
[Eb] Oh, I don't want to remember.
[D] I don't even want to think.
[G] I'm a slave to my addiction.
[Bb] I'm a hazard to myself.
[Eb] I'm an advanced drug to addiction.
[D] I'm headed straight to hell.
[Cm] When I throw up out your window,
[F] you should confiscate my key.
[Cm] I will drive you off the fucking [F] wall.
Is it too late [D] to believe?
[Gm] Oh, I
I tried so [Bb] hard to change.
The devil's [Eb] at my door.
I wear these [D] heavy chains around my neck like a [Gm] prisoner.
I just [Bb] want to know,
but he won't [Eb] let me go.
Loosen [D] up my chains or I'm a condemned [Gm] prisoner.
Oh, [Fm] [Bb]
[Eb] I
Oh, [D]
[G] I
I used to slide there in the spotlight [Bb] with the city at my feet.
[Eb] But I was dead, not walking.
[D] Nothing ever calms me free.
[Gm] So I moved on [G] down to London,
[Bb] where I traded in my soul.
[Eb] I could not fill my [F] heart with [D] all those one-night stands and gold.
[Cm] So throw me out your mom's house.
[F] I've been living there too long.
[Cm] Well, she'll never like me anyway,
cause she [Dm] knows I'm [D] nothing strong.
[Gm] Oh, I
I tried so [Bb] hard to change.
The devil's at [Eb] my door.
I wear these [D] heavy chains around my neck like a [Gm] prisoner.
I just [Bb] want to know,
but he won't [Eb] let me go.
Loosen [D] up my chains or I'm a condemned [G] prisoner.
I put my minds on the brake,
so I get high so high, and I drink.
I smoke it enough with the high pipes when I think.
I smoke it up with the [Cm] five-nine drinks, and
Now I'm at the disco called Fancy Gus, and I'm the fifth [F] zone.
Of course I'm on the break.
Look at me funny, of [Cm] course I'm gonna swing.
Karaoke, of course I wanna sing.
[D] Well, roll me another drink.
It all [Gm] sounds the same.
Oh, [Bb] I
[Eb] [D] I'm a [Dm] condemned [Gm] prisoner.
I tried so [Bb] hard to change.
The [Eb] devil's at my door.
I wear these [D] heavy chains around my neck like a [Gm] prisoner.
I just [Bb] want to know,
but he won't [Eb] let me go.
Loosen [D] up my chains or I'm a condemned [Gm] prisoner.
[G]
