[Intro]
Bm D Em Em
Bm D Em Em
[Verse 1]
F#
Ate lunch with the Devil, was dancin' with death
D
I'm makin' the most of the chance I have left
Em
One hand to the sky, one hand on my chest
Em
If you ask if I'm scared, then the answer is yes
F#m
I done been up, I done been poor
D
Not even a dollar, I slept on the floor
Em
I'm mounting the problems, they can't be ignored
Em
I came from the bottom to settle the score
Bm
Lord gave me a shot with this music
D
I promise them no more excuses
Em
I'm tryin' so hard, you can tell by my scars
Em
And my past is so damn abusive
Bm
It's time I tell you what the truth is
D
Some days I swear I feel useless
Em
My happiness has been elusive
Em
I had an encounter with Judas (Judas)
F#m D
Somewhere in the dark, along the line, I lost my mind
Em Em
The old me is a prisoner that's somewhere lost in time
F#m D
I had family I treated right that tried to take my life
Em Em
Look at my back and you won't find no room to put another knife (knife)
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m D
I lost my mind, I got no shame
Em Em
And I keep tryin' not to cry
F# D
Got this ice runnin' through my veins
Em A B
And I got fire in my eyes
[Chorus]
Bm D
All the things that I've done in the darkness
Em Em
All the nights that my mind wasn't whole
Bm D Em
And down in my soul, there's just one thing I know
Em F#m
Heaven ain't a place you go lookin' for
D Em
They all fall down
Em F#m
Just like a house of cards
D Em
They all fall down
Em Bm
And Heaven ain't a place you go lookin' for
[Verse 2]
D
Hold up, Throw me a second, let's roll up
Em
Been struggling, tryna get sober
Em
Fuck it, pass me the drink
A B Bm
And let's pour up (pour up, pour up, pour up, pour up)
D
But don't ask what's in my styrofoam
Em
You can tell the lights are on
Em F#
But there ain't nobody home
F#
Been smokin' that killer shit
D
You can tell that I'm feelin' it
Em
You can tell that I'm really lit
Em
Out of body experience
F# F#
Back in my zone, packin' my bag
D
Ain't been the same since that happened to dad
Em
I've been barefooted while walkin' on glass
Em
Surrounded by flames with a can full of gas
F#m
Ready for war, put on my armor
D
I'm doin' this for my son and my daughter
E Em
As I kneel down at the foot of the Father
Em E F#m
Left all my problems right there at the alter (alter, alter, alter)
D
And he washed away every sin
Em Em
Now I'm back and I'm better than I've ever been
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m D
I lost my mind, I got no shame
Em Em E
And I keep tryin' not to cry
F# D
Got this ice runnin' through my veins
Em A
And I got fire in my eyes
[Chorus]
Bm D
All the things that I've done in the darkness
Em E
All the nights that my mind wasn't whole
Bm D Em
And down in my soul, there's just one thing I know
Em F#m
Heaven ain't a place you go lookin' for
D
They all fall down
Em Em F#m
Just like a house of cards
D
They all fall down
Em Em Em
And Heaven ain't a place you go lookin' for
