Chorus:
Bm         A
Pound my knuckles
G                     F#m
hard against the floor
   Em                   F
My head against the wall
      F#                A
But I did this to myself
  Bm              A   G
Assume it's just not worth
               F#m
getting back up   but
      Em                  F
I'll blame it on bad luck
      F#                A Bm
I'll shake responsibility

Bm
I spent some time in
A      Em       F#m
a bad place at 18
Bm               D
wishing I could see
           Em
something through clear
F#m Bm
eyes  Do you ever wake up
    A     Em
to realize  that your
        F#m
life is meaningless?
        Bm
Does it give you strength
    D
or lead you to your
 Em               F#m
grave at a young age?

Chorus

It seems that when I ran away from my past
All my dignity, my faith, my pride got left back
And now I think it's time that I realize
Self pity's meaningless
Though I'm 10 feet deep
I'll claw my way back out from in my grave

Chorus:
Pound my knuckles hard against the floor
My head against the wall
But I did this to myself
Assume it's just not worth getting back up
So I'll blame it on bad luck
And I'll shake responsibility
And say a hard life did this to me

G         D      F#
But now I realize  I'd give
Bm A       G
anything I have to walk
   D                F#
a day in those old shoes
Wondering what
    G
my first smoke
      D      F#
would be like  my first
Bm       A        G
fuck my next fuck up
             D
Or the next band that
             F#
would change my life
                   G   A  F#  
and it changed my life
Bm                 G   A  F#  
and it changed my life

Chorus:
Pound my knuckles hard against the floor
My head against the wall
But I did this to myself
Assume it's just not worth getting back up
So I'll blame it on bad luck
And I'll shake responsibility
And say a hard life did this to me
