[Intro]

B C#
[Verse 1]
F#
Half the man I thought I’d be double
his size and constantly drinking
B
What? When your sip becomes your
substance? You learn control
or you learn how to crutch it
F#
A mother and father who care so
much southern comfort and her
B
northern touch What? When your
sip becomes your substance?
You lost control and you
learned how to love it
[Chorus 1]
B F# C#
Contender for everything from
D#m C# B
choir boys to thick as thieves
F#
If you don’t let me in you won’t
C# D#m C# B
lose your belief I lost
F# C#
it all in a hospital How did
D#m C# B F#
I get so low? How did I get
C# D#m C#
so low? Hey mom I’m coming home

[Verse 2]
F#
Half a man that’s content
with sinking Patching up holes
B
while steadily streaming liquid
into his bow and his gut
Has he lost all hope? That
ship never showed up
[Chorus 2]
B F# C#
Contender for everything from
D#m C# B

If you don’t let me in you won’t
C# D#m C# B
lose your belief I lost
F# C#
it all in a hospital How did

so low? Hey mom I’m coming home

Stop by the bar around Eight
your smile verse my 5th drink
B
You’ll tell me how much you
miss those things that
I used to be
