Beer And Nyquil Hold It Together

E

[Verse]

                   E
I took forty-five steps today:
          E
Couch to bathroom to kitchen to couch
C#m
Thanksgiving ’15 in a
B                   A
loft across from a cemetery
E
Drinking beer & NyQuil in this old mill
                                    C#m
It’s burnt out from a fire back in ’93
       B                 A
Gentrified and standing tall

[Chorus]

       A                         B
And I feel like I’m stuck on an island
                         E
And I’ve been more than selfish
                    C#m
Wishing I could be landlocked again
          G#m
Trying to do something great
              A
Instead I’ll question my age
            B
And wonder why I’m such a mess
            E
Such a mess

[Verse]

E
And now I want to be more than me
E
More for my friends and the
C#m                     B     A
four people left in my family
        E
I’m so sick of everything always bringing me down
E
I’ll try not to break my neck
E
Get my feet on the ground
            C#m
So I don’t have to be a burden –
      B             A
Some sad kid up in bed

[Chorus]

       A                         B
And I feel like I’m stuck on an island
                         E
And I’ve been more than selfish
                    C#m
Wishing I could be landlocked again
          G#m
Trying to do something great
              A
Instead I’ll question my age
            B
And wonder why I’m such a mess

[Bridge]

            E         B    A
But I’ve resigned my happiness
              C#m
to “lack thereof.”
                 B              A
Guess nothing’s perfect in the end
         E
I’ll be alright
         B            A              C#m
And I’ll upend every good thing that I find
               B                  A
But I’ll keep pissing in the wind

[Interlude]

E B A C#m B A

[Outro]

E
I want to be the one
E
I want to know what I love
   A       B         E
I want to hold it together
E
I want to be the one
          C#m
I want to know what I love
   A       B         E
I want to hold it together
E
I want to be the one
          C#m
I want to know what I love
   A       B         E
I want to hold it together
