Verse 1:
A                      F#m
Headed for a blackout hurting like hell
C#m                 B
Finding my way to bottom of the bottle
A                        F#m
Packing up my suitcase, leaving no trace
C#m                  B
One step closer with every swallow
A                   F#m
A deafening silence,   that you liked me
C#m               B
Where you want me, saying nothing
A
But not this time
F#m
I'm gonna say,  I'm gonna say

A
What sober couldn't say
F#m
Couldn't break through
C#m             B
Under the influence of you
A          F#m
Incoherent,    truth serum
C#m             B
Just enough to make me bullet proof
A                F#m
I'm so over this love gone violent
C#m               B
I'm drunk and brave enough to say
A
What sober couldn't say



Verse 2:

A              F#m
Criminal in my mind
C#m          B
I've been doing time
A            F#m
Believing in the lie
C#m          B
That you still loved me
A                    F#m
Making up for the slamming of the door
C#m                     B
Always wanting more but never giving
A              F#m
Sick of crying, Tired of trying
C#m            B
Always buying into every kiss
A
But not this time

I'm gonna say
