Wonder how I didn’t die

This is not my life. I’m no survivor,

I only happened to survive.

Well I count pink elephants,
blessings and skeletons,
D7
Down the days I have left,
with one eye open

That was me screaming

“bitch I am reality”

Then stumbling off to lose myself
A7
in a brown paper bag, ‘cause me and

Sweet Evan Williams have a date

down on Avenue A staving shakes
Em7 Em6
scraping change till daybreak
A
Turns out anyone can eat out the trash
D
Then wake up on the freeway mid-crash
[Chorus]
G
I was drunk
D
When I made my bed
D7
Now with the half-decade hangover

I lay down in it

What have I done?

Don’t know what I’ve said?

It’s a half-decade hungover

Either this, in jail or dead

It’s a half-decade hungover

Jesus Christ, my aching head
