VERSE 2 I played video games in a drunken haze, I was seventeen years young Hurt my knuckles punching the machines the taste of scotch rich on my tongue And then Cathy showed up and we hung out trading swigs from a bottle all bitter and clean locking eyes holding hands twin high maintenance machines CHORUS BRIDGE

^F#mI drove home in the California du^Ask, ^F#mI could feel the alcohol inside of me ^Ahum ^F#mPictured the look on my stepfather's f^Aace, ^Dready for the bad things to ^Ecome.
