Woooo woooo section
gSometimes life it takes you by tChe hand
GIt puts you down before you knowC it
CIt's gone and you're dead again C 
gI've been in places and I won't Cpretend
GThat I make it IC just
CFollow mCy head g  
gWhen it's strange to take a walkC downstairs
GSweep you all up on a corner    C 
CAnd pay for my bread            C 
gYou know that I cannot believe mCy own truth
GTo show what a tCruth
CGot nothCing to glose
gYeah yeah and it's okay C 
GI tie my hands up to a cChair
CSo I don't fall that wayC 
gYeah yeah and I'm alrighCt
GI took a sip of somethinCg poison
CBut I'llC hold ogn tight
(same as verse 1)

You know those days when you wanted to choose
To not get out of bed and
Get lost in your head again
You play the game but you gotta cut
Cuz' you're coming down hard
Your joints are off stud
I tried to say that's not the only way
I never knew if I could
Convince myself to change
You were pacing I was insecure
Slip and fall I got the calls of the
Prison I was living in
gYeah yeah and it's okay C 
GI tie my hands up to a cChair
CSo I don't fall that wayC 
gYeah yeah and I'm alrighCt
GI took a sip of somethinCg poison
CBut I'llC hold ogn tight
