[Verse 1] {Guitar continues playing Riff 1 twice}
Im not sober all the time
You bring me down at least you try
Until we see this eye to eye
I dont want you
[Guitar plays Riff 1]
[Verse 2] {Guitar continues playing Riff 1 twice}
I must be running out of luck
Cause youre just not drunk enough to f**k
And now Ive had it up to here
And I dont, I dont want you
[Pre-chorus]

Wake up, Im pounding on the door
Im not the man I was before
Where the hell are you when I need you
Wake up, Im pounding on the door
I wont hurt you anymore
Where the hell are you when I need you
[Guitar plays Riff 1]
[Verse 3] {Guitar continues playing Riff 1 twice}
Im not angry all the time
You push me down at least you try
Until we see this eye to eye
I dont want you
[Pre-chorus - Same as before]
[Chorus - Same as before]
