_ _ _ _ _ One year we flew up to Alaska, all the scenery was gorgeous [Em] and the people all so pleasant,
[C] what a place.
_ _ [G]
Might have been our one chance to experience firsthand [Em] all the culture and the beauty [D] of
the state, but when we [C] arrived I couldn't bring myself to [G] leave the car seat locked
away [Em] with my guitar and while the others studied the mountains and the rivers [C] I just stared
down at my [G] fretboard pad and pen. _ _ _
_ Lately I've been struggling to conjure up a band-aid for this problem that has [Em] freshly
manifested [C] in my brain.

we'd take to Lake _ [G] Tahoe, a place we'd been when I was younger, all the memories [Em] are golden,
_ _ [D]
but when we arrived [C] I found myself down [G] at the bar, blackout drunk and [Em] seeing stars while

get out of [C] my own way.
[G] I'm by far my harshest critic and a cynic, judeorotic [Em] to accept that sometimes shit is
just [D]
okay, there's always [C] gotta be some problem I [G] alone must solve, but that just ain't the
[Em] case at all, cause I got friends and family, but my worst enemy [C] is me, [D] me just can't [G] escape my end.
Cause [C] I was born to sabotage [G] myself, well that's on me and no one else, I'm [Em] a human
canade and [D] I'm good at pulling my own pin, [C] you can blame it on my [G] mental health, addiction,
stress, anything else, [Em] all it boiled down to is I'm an asshole with a loud mouth and
[C] a system [D] of support I [G] don't deserve.
