Verse 1
B B 
 
What if I told you that I got sober?
G#m G#m 
 
That I got older?
That I got that tattoo off my shoulder
E E 
 
That I'm strong again, I'm fun again
B B 
 
Would you love me then?

What if you saw me, what if you hate me?
G#m G#m 
 
What if I'm failing? Or mentally ill?
Would you call me crazy?

Would you love me then?

B B 
 
I told you that my whole life,
could have sworn I would die young
G#m G#m 
 
My last  words, 22 years on my tongue
E E 
 
B B 
 
I'm bad luck, I'm bad luck, I'm bad luck
B B 
 
You know that I spend long nights
brain fried, talking too much
G#m G#m 
 
I'm a booze-bag, do-bad, burnout, dead drunk

Verse 2
B B 
 
It's not your fault that my brain is vacant
G#m G#m 
 
That the world is trash and my dumb ass
just got completely wasted
E E 
 
You washed your hands of all my sins,
B B 
 
have I lost you then?
B B 
 
Sometimes I hate it, my lack of patience
G#m G#m 
 
How sometimes love  feels like a noun
in some new foreign language
E E 
 
And now my heart is bent and worn so thin,
B B 
 
can you sew the skin?

I'm bad luck, I'm bad luck, I'm bad luck
B B 
 
You know that I spend long nights
brain fried, talking too much

I'm a booze-bag, do-bad, burnout, dead drunk

B B 
 
Yeah, I'm bad luck, I'm bad luck, I'm bad luck

Most chord-change problems come from the strumming hand, not the fretting hand. The basic strumming course covers the patterns and timing that make any chord progression easier to play. Practice basic strumming
