[Intro]
Am Em
 
 
[Verse 1]
            Am
drowning in bourbon..
           Am
numbing my pain..
              F
fighting with demons, oh Lord
  Em                        Am
I just wish that they'd go away..
 
                        Am
there's no light in the day..
                               Am
don't know how much more I can take..
                   F
oh no, afraid of tomorrow
                Em
the end of this bottle ain't that
     Am
far away..
 
 
[Chorus]
F        G                 Am
 I don't know where I went wrong..
              F
I've walked a million miles
    G                   Am
and now I'm so far from home..
        Am
and I'm begging and pleading
    F
for someone to help me
G
something won't let me
E                  Am
lie down where I belong..
           F
there's no use in carrying on..
   E                   Am        Em
oh no, I'm better off alone.. oo ooh..
 
 
[Verse 2]
                 Am
at the end of my rope..
                    Am
I'm so close to the edge..
           F
In fear of falling 'cause I know
        Em                      Am
there's no one to catch me down there..
 
                Am
so all of these scars..
                    Am
they say make you a man..
            F
afraid of a feeling that bring back
    Em                        Am
the demons that's stuck in my head..
 
 
[Chorus]
F        G                 Am
 I don't know where I went wrong..
              F
I've walked a million miles
    G                   Am
and now I'm so far from home..
        Am
and I'm begging and pleading
    F
for someone to help me
G
something won't let me
E                  Am
lie down where I belong..
           F
there's no use in carrying on..
   E                   F
oh no, I'm better off alone..
G      Am
 yes I am..
                F
I'm better off alone..
    G    Am
ooh oooh yeeaah..
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
         F
I know I need you right now
G

      E                          Am
won't you come and help this old soul
      F            E
and I know.. yes I know..
                Am        Em
I'm better off alone.. mm hmmm..
                Am
