Capo 2nd fret


[Intro]
      


[Verse 1]
            
 I've spent so

 
 long
              
Tryna to make 

            
right on my wr

ongs
              
But I miss bei

   
ng stoned
              
‘Cause it woul

              
d make this ea


sy
              
If I give myse

      
lf an inch
              
Hell I might t

        
ake the mile
              
And she can't 

             
take my calls 

              
when I'm too d

             
runk to dial


[Pre-Chorus]
            
I’d love to su

gar coat this
              
De-thorn all m

  
y roses
              
But she caught

          
 me at my lowe

st


[Chorus]
             
The hardest pa

              
rt of getting 

          
clean are all 

the damn apolo

gies
             
Paying tolls o

              
n bridges that

           
 I've burnt
             
I've been afra

              
id of growing 

          
up ‘cause that

 would mean to

 sober up
             
But stoned and

              
 drunk don't m

              
ix with loving

 
 her
             
Does that make

              
 me a quitter?
              
Doеs that make

                
 me a quitter?


[Verse 2]
           
 Lonеly as I m


ay be
              
I'd rather tha

      
t she hate me
              
For who I am a

   
nd not the man

 whose hands w

ere shaky
            
 I finally see

    
n a sunrise
              
And I could no

    
t believe it
              
Curtains open 

             
wishing she wa

              
s here to see 

   
it


[Pre-Chorus]
              
And I thought 

             
that I could h


andle
              
Both ends of t

    
hat candle
              
But I'm throwi

          
ng in the towe

[Chorus]
             
The hardest pa

              
rt of getting

the damn apolo

gies
             
Paying tolls o

Doеs that make

[Chorus]
             
The hardest pa

              
rt of getting

the damn philo

sophies
              
Telling me how

I've been afra

up and losing 

friends I used

 to trust

Doеs that make

              
 me a quitter?


[Outro]
             
Does that make

              
 me a quitter?
              
Does that make

              
 me a quitter?
             
Does that make

      
 me a quitter?
