Look who's digging their own grave, that is what they all say 
Em                       D 
You'll drink yourself to death 
C 
Look who makes their own bed, lies right down within it 
Em                 D 
What will you have left? 
C 
Out on the front door step, drinking from a paper cup 
Em                 D 
You won't remember this 
C 
Living beyond your years, acting out all their fears 
Em                  D 
You feel it in your chest 

       C                Em               G               D 
Your hands protect the flames, from the wild winds around you
