Lyrics and Chords

Intro: 0:02
E5 D5:A5  - x4
E5 D5  - x4

Verse 1: 0:16
E5    D5       E5        D5
On a mission, made my decision,
        E5           D5      E5 D5
Lead a path of self destruction,
    E5      D5       E5             D5
A slow progression, killing my complexion
          E5     D5      E5
And it's rotting out my teeth.

Chorus 1: 0:31
G5        D5
I'm on a roll,
 G5          D5
No self control,
      G5          D5
I'm blowing off steam
         G5      D5
With methamphetamine.

              E5         D5
Well, don't know what I want,
           E5             D5
And that's all that I've got,
         E5           D5      E5
And I'm picking scabs off my face.

Instrumental: 0:46
E5 D5 | E5 D5

Verse 2: 0:49
E5     D5       E5              D5
Every hour my blood is turning sour
        E5              D5      E5  D5
And my pulse is beating out of time.
   E5       D5      E5                D5
I found a treasure filled with sick pleasure
        E5         D5        E5
And it sits on a thin white line.

Chorus 2: 1:04
G5        D5
I'm on a roll,
 G5          D5
No self control,
      G5          D5
I'm blowing off steam
         G5      D5
With methamphetamine.

              E5         D5
Well, don't know what I want,
           E5             D5
And that's all that I've got,
         E5           D5      E5
And I'm picking scabs off my face.

Instrumental: 1:19
E5 D5:A5  - x8

Verse 3: 1:33
    E5    D5            E5       D5
I'm on a mission. I've got no decision,
         E5              D5     E5  D5
Like a cripple running the rat race.
 E5     D5          E5        D5
Wish in one hand, shit in the other,
     E5            D5          E5
And see which one gets filled first.

Chorus 3: 1:47
G5        D5
I'm on a roll,
 G5          D5
No self control,
      G5          D5
I'm blowing off steam
         G5      D5
With methamphetamine.

              E5         D5
Well, don't know what I want,
           E5             D5
And that's all that I've got,
         E5           D5      E5
And I'm picking scabs off my face.
