Our last conver sation,
you and I sat in the living room
Bbm
Talking 'bout my music
and I brought you something to listen to
Fm
You started crying, telling me this isn't you

Couple weeks later,
guess you were singing a different tune
You took them pills
for the last time, didn't you?
Bbm
They took you from us once,
guess they came back to finish you
Fm
Crying my eyes out in the studio is difficult
Gb
Music is the only place
that I can go to speak to you
It took everything
inside of me to not scream at your funeral
Bbm
Sitting in my chair,
that person talking was pitiful
Fm
I wish you were here mama
but every time I picture you
Gb
All I feel is pain,
I hate the way I remember you
They found you on the floor,
I could tell that you felt hollow

Gave everything you had
plus your life to them pill bottles
