Tell me revelator

There's nothing like the strong stuff

There's no better medicine

I'm rolling stoned again

Fighting all my demons

This opening, with its flow from G to Em, then D, C, and back to G,
lays down a reflective, slightly melancholic atmosphere, preparing
you for the story ahead.
Verse 1
The verse introduces the theme and tone of the song:
G
Tell me revelator
Em
Why do I exist
D
If God is my witness
C Em
I hate He's seein' me like this
Here, the progression from G to Em, then D, and C, highlights a questioning
and contemplative mood, emphasized by returning to Em.
Verse 2
Continues the narrative, building on the introspective foundation:
G
Staring at the ceiling
Em
Been crawling up the wall

The chord changes mirror the lyrical content's evolving introspection,
maintaining the song's reflective quality.

coping and searching for solace, encapsulated by the return to G,
signifying a cycle of feelings and experiences.
