[Verse 1]
G C G
Well, I can't seem to find my old friend, self-control
Em C G
I haven't seen him around, he don't visit no more
Em C G
He's been gone long enough, I ain't myself anymore
Em C G
And I'm a-findin' my ass, sat on the livin' room floor
Em C G
High as a kite, but feelin' lower than before
[Intrumental]
G C G G C G G C G
[Verse 2]
G C G
I knew ol'self-control like the back of my hand
Em C G
He wouldn't let me do nothin', without a well-conceived plan
Em C G
Now I'm reckless and rusted, and busted and bent
Em C G
And it feels like I'm crawlin' through dryin' cement
Em C G
It could be much worse, 'least it ain't too dry yet
[Intrumental]
Em C G Em C G Em C G
[Verse 3]
G C G
Maybe ol' self-control's just a-takin' a break
Em C G
He's been bustin' my ass, so damn long for God's sake
Em C G
But deep down, I'm a-wonderin' how long he's gonna take
Em C G
Without ol' self-control, well, my whole life's at stake
Em C G
Without ol' self-control, well, my whole life's at stake
