[Intro]
D#m C# F#
1, 2, now
[Verse 1]
D#m C#
Those three-plus years, I was so proud of
F# B
Then I threw them all away for two Styrofoam cups
D#m C#
The irony, everyone will think that "He lied to me"
F#
Made my sobriety so public, there's no fucking privacy
D#m C#
If I don't talk about it then I carry a date
F# B
A "08/10/08" that now has been changed
D#m C#
And everyone that put me in some box as a saint
F#
That I never was, just a false prophet that never came
D#m C#
And will they think that everything that I've written has all been fake?
F# B
Or will I just take my slip to the grave?
D#m C#
What the fuck are my parents gonna say?
F#
The success story that got his life together and changed
D#m C#
And you know, what pain looks like
F# B
When you tell your dad you relapsed and look at him directly into his face
D#m C#
Deceit on your shoulders, deceivingly heavy weight
F#
Haven't seen tears like this on my girl in a while
D#m C#
The trust that I once built has been betrayed
F# B
But I'd rather live telling the truth and be judged for my mistakes
D#m C#
Than falsely held up, given props, loved and praised
F#
I guess, I gotta get this on the page
D#m C#
Feeling sick and helpless, lost the compass where self is
F# B
I know what I've gotta do, and I can't help it
D#m C#
One day at a time is what they tell us
F#
Now I've gotta find a way to tell them
D#m C# F# B
God help 'em, yeah
D#m C#
One day at a time is what they tell us
F#
Now I've gotta find a way to tell them
[Hook]
D#m C#
We fall, so hard,
F# B D#m C# F#
now we gotta get back what we lost, lost
D#m C#
I thought you’d gone,
F# B D#m C# F#
but you were with me all along, along
[Verse 2]
D#m C#
And every kid that came up to me
F# B
And said I was the music they listened to when they first got clean
D#m C#
Now look at me, a couple days sober, I'm fighting demons
F#
Back of that meeting on the East Side, shaking, tweaking
D#m C#
Hope that they don't see it, hope that no one is looking
F# B
That no one recognizes that failure under that hoodie
D#m C#
Just posted in the back with my hands crossed, shooken
F#
If they call on me I'm passin', if they talk to me I'm booking
D#m C#
Out that door, but before, I can make it
F#
Somebody stops me and says "Are you Macklemore?
B D#m C#
Maybe this isn't the place or time, I just wanted to say that
F#
If it wasn't for 'Otherside,' I wouldn't have made it"
D#m C#
I just looked down at the ground and say, "Thank you"
F# B
She tells me she has nine months, and that she's so grateful
D#m C#
Tears in her eyes, looking like she's gonna cry, fuck
F#
I barely got forty-eight hours, treated like I'm some wise monk
D#m C#
I want to tell her I relapsed, but I can't
F# B
I just shake her hand and tell her, "Congrats"
D#m C#
Get back to my car, and I think I'm tripping, yeah
F#
Cause God wrote "Otherside," that pen was in my hand
D#m C#
I'm just a flawed man, man, I fucked up
F# B
Like so many others, I just never thought I would
D#m C#
I never thought I would, didn't pick up the book
F#
Doin' it by myself didn't turn out that good
[Bridge]
D#m C#
If I can be an example of getting sober
F# B
Then I can be an example of starting over
D#m C#
If I can be an example of getting sober
F#
Then I can be an example of starting over
[Hook]
D#m C#
We fall, so hard,
F# B D#m C# F#
now we gotta get back what we lost, lost
D#m C#
I thought you’d gone,
F# B D#m C# F#
but you were with me all along, along
[Outro]
D#m C#
We fall, so hard,
F# B D#m C# F#
now we gotta get back what we lost, lost
