Choked Out

Diamonds in the firmament 
All reserves completely spent 
F#m
Someone set up the oxygen tent
D
Everybody here's real proud to present
A
Choked out

A
Two hundred dollar tank ???
Half-nelson to suplex reverse
F#m
Worried look on the face of the ringside nurse
D
At one, for once, with the universe
A
Choked out
F#m         D           A
Choked out, choked out, choked out

I stretch and strain with all my might
Drift off into the velvety arms of the night
Kick and claw and scratch and bite
Fire up the grill, everybody eats tonight
Choked out

No brakes down
An endless dark incline
Most of the boys
Won't ever cross this line
If they all wanna die dead broke that's fine, that's fine
Everybody's got their limits
Nobody's found mine

Crowd screaming like hounds at the heat of the chase
All the colors of the rainbow flood my face
I lift right off into space
I can see the future, it's a real dark place
Choked out, choked out, choked out
Choked out, choked out, choked out
