Chords with lyrics

Intro:
Chord diagramA minorAm Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramC majorC Chord diagramFF
Chord diagramA minorAm Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramC majorC
        1,2, now

Part 1:
      Chord diagramA minorAm                      Chord diagramG+G
Those three-plus years, I was so proud of
       Chord diagramC majorC                           Chord diagramFF
Then I threw them all away for two Styrofoam cups
    Chord diagramA minorAm                   Chord diagramG+G
The irony, everyone will think that "He lied to me"
           Chord diagramC majorC
Made my sobriety so public, there's no f**king privacy
   Chord diagramA minorAm                           Chord diagramG+G
If I don't talk about it then I carry a date
    Chord diagramC majorC             Chord diagramFF
Chord diagramA augmentedA "08/10/08" that now has been changed
         Chord diagramA minorAm                      Chord diagramG+G
And everyone that put me in some box as a saint
             Chord diagramC majorC
That I never was, just a false prophet that never came
              Chord diagramA minorAm                              Chord diagramG+G
And will they think that everything that I've written has all been fake?
          Chord diagramC majorC                        Chord diagramFF
Or will I just take my slip to the grave?
Chord diagramA minorAm                     Chord diagramG+G
What the f**k are my parents gonna say?
       Chord diagramC majorC
The success story that got his life together and changed
        Chord diagramA minorAm                    Chord diagramG+G
And you know, what pain looks like
                           Chord diagramC majorC                          Chord diagramFF
When you tell your dad you relapsed and look at him directly into his face
Chord diagramA minorAm                          Chord diagramG+G
Deceit on your shoulders, deceivingly heavy weight
        Chord diagramC majorC
Haven't seen tears like this on my girl in a while
    Chord diagramA minorAm                                 Chord diagramG+G
The trust that I once built has been betrayed
               Chord diagramC majorC                             Chord diagramFF
But I'd rather live telling the truth and be judged for my mistakes
     Chord diagramA minorAm                     Chord diagramG+G
Than falsely held up, given props, loved and praised
       Chord diagramC majorC
I guess, I gotta get this on the page
      Chord diagramA minorAm                  Chord diagramG+G
Feeling sick and helpless, lost the compass where self is
Chord diagramC majorC                         Chord diagramFF
I know what I've gotta do, and I can't help it
Chord diagramA minorAm             Chord diagramG+G
One day at a time is what they tell us
Chord diagramC majorC
Now I've gotta find a way to tell them
Chord diagramA minorAm Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramC majorC             Chord diagramFF
      God help 'em, yeah
Chord diagramA minorAm             Chord diagramG+G
One day at a time is what they tell us
Chord diagramC majorC
Now I've gotta find a way to tell them

Hook:
Chord diagramA minorAm      Chord diagramG+G
We fall, so hard,
Chord diagramC majorC            Chord diagramFF                Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramC majorC
now we gotta get back what we lost, lost
Chord diagramA minorAm       Chord diagramG+G
I thought you’d gone,
Chord diagramC majorC            Chord diagramFF            Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramG+G  Chord diagramC majorC
but you were with me all along, along

Part 2:
Chord diagramA minorAm                 Chord diagramG+G
And every kid that came up to me
         Chord diagramC majorC                                Chord diagramFF
And said I was the music they listened to when they first got clean
            Chord diagramA minorAm                Chord diagramG+G
Now look at me, a couple days sober, I'm fighting demons
Chord diagramC majorC
Back of that meeting on the East Side, shaking, tweaking
Chord diagramA minorAm                              Chord diagramG+G
Hope that they don't see it, hope that no one is looking
     Chord diagramC majorC                          Chord diagramFF
That no one recognizes that failure under that hoodie
     Chord diagramA minorAm                         Chord diagramG+G
Just posted in the back with my hands crossed, shooken
        Chord diagramC majorC
If they call on me I'm passin', if they talk to me I'm booking
         Chord diagramA minorAm                      Chord diagramG+G
Out that door, but before, I can make it
                  Chord diagramC majorC
Somebody stops me and says "Are you Macklemore?
Chord diagramFF                             Chord diagramA minorAm                     Chord diagramG+G
Maybe this isn't the place or time, I just wanted to say that
                  Chord diagramC majorC
If it wasn't for 'Otherside,' I wouldn't have made it"
              Chord diagramA minorAm                           Chord diagramG+G
I just looked down at the ground and say, "Thank you"
                     Chord diagramC majorC                              Chord diagramFF
She tells me she has nine months, and that she's so grateful
             Chord diagramA minorAm                             Chord diagramG+G
Tears in her eyes, looking like she's gonna cry, f**k
             Chord diagramC majorC
I barely got forty-eight hours, treated like I'm some wise monk
Chord diagramA minorAm                     Chord diagramG+G
I want to tell her I relapsed, but I can't
       Chord diagramC majorC                                Chord diagramFF
I just shake her hand and tell her, "Congrats"
               Chord diagramA minorAm                             Chord diagramG+G
Get back to my car, and I think I'm tripping, yeah
                 Chord diagramC majorC
Cause God wrote "Otherside," that pen was in my hand
                  Chord diagramA minorAm                 Chord diagramG+G
I'm just a flawed man, man, I f**ked up
             Chord diagramC majorC                              Chord diagramFF
Like so many others, I just never thought I would
                  Chord diagramA minorAm                        Chord diagramG+G
I never thought I would, didn't pick up the book
              Chord diagramC majorC
Doin' it by myself didn't turn out that good

Bridge:
   Chord diagramA minorAm                     Chord diagramG+G
If I can be an example of getting sober
           Chord diagramC majorC                         Chord diagramFF
Then I can be an example of starting over
   Chord diagramA minorAm                     Chord diagramG+G
If I can be an example of getting sober
           Chord diagramC majorC
Then I can be an example of starting over

Hook:
Chord diagramA minorAm      Chord diagramG+G
We fall, so hard,
Chord diagramC majorC            Chord diagramFF                Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramC majorC
now we gotta get back what we lost, lost
Chord diagramA minorAm       Chord diagramG+G
I thought you’d gone,
Chord diagramC majorC            Chord diagramFF            Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramG+G  Chord diagramC majorC
but you were with me all along, along

Outro:
Chord diagramA minorAm Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramC majorC Chord diagramFF
Chord diagramA minorAm Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramC majorC
