[Verso 1]
C/G G Em
I'm rememberin' I promised to forget you now
Em
But it's rainin' and I'm callin' drunk
C/G G Em
And my medicine is drowning your perspective out
Em
So I ain't taking any fault
C/G G Em
Am I honest still? Am I half the man I used to be?
Em
I doubt it, forget about it, whatever
C/G G Em D
It's all the same anyways
C/G G
I ain't proud of all the punches that I've thrown
D Em
In the name of someone I no longer know
C/G G
For the shame of being young, drunk, and alone
D Em
Traffic lights and a transmitter radio
C/G G
I don't like that, when they threw me in the car
D Em
I gave your name as my emergency phone call
C/G G D
Honey, it rang and rang, even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up
Em C/G
I dial drunk, I'll die a drunk, I'd die for you
[Verso 2]
C/G G Em
I'm untethering from the parts of me you'd recognize
Em
From charming to alarming in seconds
C/G G Em
I'll be bedridden, I'll let the pain metastasize
Em
But, that's morning, I'll forget it
C/G G Em D
And the dial tone is all I have
C/G G
I ain't proud of all the punches that I've thrown
D Em
In the name of someone I no longer know
C/G G
For the shame of being young, drunk, and alone

Traffic lights and a transmitter radio

Well, I'd die for you

I beg you, sir, just let me call

I'll give you my blood alcohol
D Em
I'll rot with all the burnouts in the cell
C/G
I'll change my faith, I'll praise the flag
G
Just wait, I swear she'll call me back
D Em
Oh, son, are you a danger to yourself?
C/G
Well, fuck that sir, just let me call
G
I'll give you my blood alcohol
D Em
I'll rot with all the burnouts in the cell
C/G
I'll change my faith, I'll kiss the badge
G
Just wait, I swear she'll call me back

Son, why do you do this to yourself?
And I said

For the shame of being young, drunk, and alone
