[Verse 1, barre chords]
               E                    C#m
It's time to remove a piece of this puzzle that I've put
  G#                     A
together with music and drugs
    E                      C#m
The drug part specifically I know dependent
     G#                 A
I'll never become who I want
         E                      C#m
'Cause I got a lot of goals and cirrhosis ain't one of 'em
       G#                                A
You're free to pick your poison some are fun I've done a ton of 'em
        E                         C#m
They've certainly shaped me but I hope they didn't make me
    G#                       A
the person who I've grown to be
   E         C#m              G#                   A
I'm genuinely afraid to change and I'm aware that it sounds a bit strange
    E                            C#m                   G#                           A
and depressing but booze has been there for me I'm not prepared to be made now to cope


[Pre-Chorus, barre chords]
        E           C#m                        G#                   A
And I'd like to believe that the art came from me and it wasn't the drugs
       E                    C#m                    G#                      A
But it truly is frightening deep down inside of me I'm not so sure that it was


[Chorus, open chords]
E           C#m
Please tell me
G#             A
  that I don't need to be drunk and
E         C#m
stoned to be
G#           A
  the person you've all grown to

G#                    A
no longer running the show
E                      C#m
  And if you're in the same boat I'd like to make
G#                           A
certain there's one thing you know
E                           C#m

      E                             C#m
And I hope that you make it through trust me it's better to

know that your thoughts are your own


[Pre-Chorus, barre chords]
