Intro: B
[Verso 1]
B
I sure do miss them drugs
E
And not giving the slightest fuck
G#m
Shivering and thunderstruck
E
But it nearly killed me
B
And I sure do miss cocaine -
E
The bravado and bloodstains
G#m
Crushing highs and creeping shame -
E
And it nearly killed me
[Pré-Refrão]
F# E
I'm not invincible after all
F# E
I'm not invincible - it's impossible
To stay awake forever
Instrumental: B E G#m E
[Verso 2]
B
And I miss the independence
E
Of being high as fuck and friendless
G#m
On the days that were numb and endless
E
And that nearly killed me
B
And I miss leaving every morning
E
Without words and without warning
G#m
With open arms towards an ending
E
That would surely kill me
[Pré-Refrão]
F# E
I'm not invincible after all
F# E
I'm not invincible - it's impossible
To stay awake forever
[Ponte]
G#m
In the final analysis
F#
When it all comes down to it
B
I went right up to the line
E
And it turns out I did't want to die
G#m F# E
Because the one thing that I never accounted for was love
[Refrão]
