E
All messed up I got nowhere to go
E
I stared at myself in the mirror alone
E
It's hard to make friends when you're half in the grave
E                                           A
But I ain't dead yet and I got somethin to say
        E
Oh-Oh-Oh

[Chorus]
B
You got holes in your clothes, booze on your breath
A
You're lookin like hell and you smell like death
E
Oh - oh - oh

[Verse 2]
E
There's a stranger in my eyes again
E
I swear to God I don't know him
E
I'm tired of me, I'm tired of you
E                               A
So turn around and leave me to myself
        E
Oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
B
You got holes in your clothes, booze on your breath
A
You're lookin like hell and you smell like death
E
Oh - oh - oh

[Chanting]

Ohh-ohh-ohh
E
Ohh-ohh-ohh
A
Ohh-ohh-ohh
E
Ohh-ohh-ohh

[Bridge]
B                   A 
Been out way too long
B                       A E
Heading right for the edge
B                 A 
If she asks about me
C#m                B    A
Tell her I'm not dead (yet)

[Chanting]
E
Ohh-ohh-ohh
E
Ohh-ohh-ohh
A
Ohh-ohh-ohh
E
Ohh-ohh-ohh

[Chorus]
B
You got holes in your clothes, booze on your breath
A
You're lookin like hell and you smell like death
E
Oh - oh - oh




The way the song was played live and in recordings goes as follows:

The tuning for the song is Open D or DADF#AD
Which is basically the shape of an "F" chord but all the notes will be on the same fret
So when you strum your guitar without holding any notes down, it'll make a perfect "D" chord

Strumming pattern: DDUDDU

Chords (Relative to capo)

     F  Bb   C   Dm
E|----|---|---|----|
B|----|---|---|----|
G|--0-|---|---|----|
D|--0-|-5-|-7-|-9--|
A|--0-|-5-|-7-|-9--|
E|--0-|-5-|-7-|-9--|

Ben puts the capo on the 3rd fret which makes the F chord. Strum only on the lowest 4 strings (DADF#)

For the verse, strum and alternate between hammering the lower A note on the second fret

Switch from F to Bb on the 5th fret relative to capo. Hammer the lower A string from 5 to 7 while
holding down the lowest D string in the 5th fret while strumming. Return to F after the song goes "oh-oh-oh"

"... something to say"    "oh-oh-oh"
