Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I think [Am]once I took my first Vicodin, it was just like, this feeling of,
"Ah"
You know, like everything was not only
[Dm]mellow, but didn't feel any pain
It just didn't, it just kind of
[Am]numbed things
I don't know at what point exactly it
started [F]to be a [Am]problem
I just remember likin' it more
and more
People tried to tell me that
I had a problem
I would say, "Get that fuck[Dm]in' person out of here, I can
[Am]'t believe they said that shit to me
They know noth[Em]in' about my fuckin'
life, are they out of their fuckin' [Am]mind?"
I'm not out there [Dm]shootin' heroin
I'm not out there fuck[Am]in', you know,
puttin' coke up my nose
I'm not smokin' crack"
You're struggling with the argument of
Do you have a problem,
or do you not have a problem?
Can you control it, or can
you not?
And I literally thought I could control
it
You're taking things
that people are giving you that
You don't even know what
[Dm]the fuck they are
They look like a pill
And they look, [Am]they're shaped like [Dm]something that you take,
so you take it, [Am]you know?
[Em]Xanax, Valium,
to[Am]mato- tomato
You know what I
[Em]mean? It's the same thing
It's all in the same family,
[Am]fuck it, take it
[Dm]Had I had got to the [D]hospital about [Am]two hours later,
I [D]would've died
[Em]My organs were shutting [Eb]down,
my liver, kidneys, [Dm]everything
They were gonna have to put me on [D]dia
lysis, they didn't think I was gonna make it
My bottom was [F#m]gonna be death,
within a [Am]month, I had relapsed
And shot right [F#m]back up to the
[D]same amount of pills that I was taking
I remember just walking around my house [F#m]and
[D]thinking every single [F#m]day, like
[D]I'm gonna fucking [A]die
[Am]Like, I'm, I'm lookin' at my kids, and I need
to be here for this
Coming off of everything, I literally was up twenty-
four hours a day for three weeks straight
And I mean not sleeping,
not even nodding off for a, a fucking minute
Like, I was literally just up, like,
looking at the TV
I had to re[Dm]gain [Am]mo tor skills,
I had to regain talking skills
It's been a, a [F]learning process,
[Am]like, it's been, I'm growing
I just couldn't believe that anybody
[Dm]could ever be naturally happy
Or naturally function, or be just enjoying life
in [Am]gen eral
[D]Without being on [Am]something
So, I would say that to, to [Eb]any body that it,
[Em]it does get [Am]better
[D]You know? [Am]It just, it does
