I Wish I Was Sober

G
Fall prey to the blizzard head
C                G/B                 D
Wrapped my hand around the glass again
                            Em              C
We all thought that I might change as I got older
G
Fell down and nothing bled
C                 G/B         D
Wrapped in cotton alcohol again
                          Em            C
To the hill hear from the prick upon my shoulder

[Verse 2]
G
Free pour the fruitless thoughts
     C               G/B
It's far too late to talk so much but
D
  Still not giving up though
  Em              C      G/B
I wish that I was sober

[Pre-chorus]
C             G           D
Forgive me, I can't speak straight
        C      G
Forgive me, I can't
   C             G       D
Forgive me, it's far too late

Continues after the ad
[Verse 3]
G
Choke down the gateway drug
C                    G/B                     D
Opened the gates, in came the flood, it comes
                         Em              C
Like a blush of love, it hits me without warning
G
Long nights of getting lost
  C                G/B                D
I walk beneath the bridge I don't know
                          Em             C
I need a black suit for tomorrow, I'm in mourning

[Verse 4]
G
My love you should know
    C               G/B          D
The best of me left hours ago so
                       Em               C
Shove it right into my mouth and let me smoulder
G
Fallout and the damage done
  C                G/B            D
I can't unsing the things I've sung

Still not giving up though
  Em              C      G/B
I wish that I was sober

[Pre-chorus]
C            G/B            D
Forgive me, I can't speak straight
        C      G
Forgive me, I can't
   C            G/B       D
Forgive me, it's far too late

| C   G   | D       | D       |

[Chorus]
G  C                 G/B         D
Oh come and shake me till I'm dry
     Em              C
Oh I wish that I was sober
G  C              G/B               D
Oh come to me and kill the night off
  Em              C
I wish that I was sober

G  C                 G/B         D
Oh come and shake me till I'm dry
     Em              C
Oh I wish that I was sober
G  C              G/B               D
Oh come to me and kill the night off
  Em              C     G
I wish that I was sober
