🤘 Verse 1:
                E5
Well I've been lying awake all night
                 C5          D5 B5
just thinking of you
      E5
But a bottle of whiskey lies heavy
                C5           D5 B5
obstructing my view
           E5
I've got a bottle of pills
                        C5   D5 B5
to give me my thrills
       E5                                 C5   D5 B5
And I know I'm leading a life that kills
