Db                    Ab         
The stage is getting overcrowded,
         Cm

Cm
problem
     Gm
It's not Alcoholics Anonymous
      Ab                        
I'm addicted to all the applause 
               Ab
that gets me high
                 Cm
And the prison I sit in is built 
outta bars I spit
Gm
Thinking 'bout giving up all of it

Beyond my Twitter feed
          Cm
My inner peace ain't in who follows

That clout is just a cloud of dust, 
I need sobriety now
