[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
Your mother [Bm]came up to [Em]me,
She wanted an[G]swers [Bm]only
she [Em]should [Bm]know,
[Em]Only she should know[G].[Em]
It wasn't easy to deal with the
tears that rolled [Bm]down her [Em]face.
I had no answers 'cause [D]I d[Em]idn't
even [Bm]know [G]you[D].
But these [A]word

[Verse 2]
[G]s[D]
They can[A]'t re[G]place,[D][G]
[D]The[A] life you[G],[D]

[Interlude 1]
The life you waste.
[Em][Bsus4]
[D][Em][G][Bm][Em]

[Verse 3]
How could you [Bm]paint this pic[Em]ture?
Was life as bad [G]as it [Bm]should seem,
[Em]that there were no more [Bm]options fo[D]r yo[Em]u?[G][Em]
I can't explain how I feel.
I've been there many [Bm]times be[Em]fore.
I've tasted the cold steel of my life
crashing down [Bm]before [Em]me.
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
But these [G]words[D]
They can[A]'t re[G]place,
[D]The lif[A]e you[G],[D]

[Interlude 2]
The life you waste.
[Cm][Bb][Cm][Bb][Cm]

[Verse 5]
Did daddy not [Cm]love [Bb]you?[Cm]
Or did he love you [Bb]just too [Cm]much?
Did he control [Bb]you?[Cm]
Did he live through you at [Bb]your [Cm]cost?
Did he leave no question[Bb]s for you
[Cm]to answer on your [Bb]own?

[Verse 6]
Well fuck [Cm]them,
And fuck her,
And [Gm]fuck him,
[Cm]And fuck you,
[Bb]For not having t[Cm]he stren[G]gth
in your [Cm]heart to pull through.
[Bb]I've had doubts,[Cm]
I have failed,
I've fucked up,
I've had plans,
[Bb]Doesn't mean[Cm] I should take my
life with my own [Bb]hands.
[G][D]

[Verse 7]
But [A]these [D]words
[G]The[D]y can't rep[A]lace,[G][D]
The [A]life [D]you,[G][D]
The life you [G]waste[D]
But these word[A]s[G][D]
They [A]don't re[G]place,[D]
The life [G]you,[D]
The life you waste.
[G][D]
