This is one of my few lessons that doesn't have a printable song sheet / PDF available. If you'd like to request I make one, let me know... it's always great to hear which lessons have the most interest.
Lyrics w/ Chords
VERSE
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Am7
It's true... that all that you know is all that you are
(riff)
You said that it's all that you want and more
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Am7
...Fuck off and pour another drink-----... and tell me what you think
(riff)
You know that I'm too drunk to talk right now
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Am7
...You put your cigarette out on my face... so beautiful...
(riff)
Please, woman don't break your back for me
PRE-CHORUS
F Fm (let ring)
...I'll put you out of your mis(ery)
CHORUS
Cmaj7
Tell me that it's all okay (tell me that it's all okay)
Am7
I've been waiting on this all damn day (waitin' on this all damn day)
Dm7
Call me in the mornin', tell me how last night went
F Fm (let ring)
I'm here.... but don't count on me to...
VERSE
Stay a little longer if you convince me
And tell me all the things that you have against me
Every time we make up, the truth is faded
Everybody's blind when the view's amazing
Damn, who are we right now?
Can we have a little conversation?
Figure it out with no intoxication
We carry on, what is our motivation?
We're never wrong, how the hell we gonna make it?
Maybe we're used to this
Tell me, what are we to do?
It's like we only play to lose
Chasing pain with an excuse
I love that shit and so do you
But don't break your back for me
PRE-CHORUS
I'll put you out of your mis(ery)
CHORUS
Tell me that it's all okay (tell me that it's all okay)
I've been waitin' on this all damn day (waiting on this all damn day)
Call me in the mornin', tell me how last night went
I'm here, but don't count on me to stay
SOLO
(use verse chords)
CHORUS
Tell me that it's all okay (tell me that it's all okay)
I've been waitin' on this all damn day (waiting on this all damn day)
Call me in the mornin', tell me how last night went
I'm here, but don't count on me to stay

Chords needed
Here’s how to play the chords used in the song (the way Post Malone plays them). Note, these can be a bit difficult - especially the F, Fm, and Dm7.
E –––0–––––1–––––0–––––0–––––1––––
B –––1–––––1–––––0–––––1–––––1––––
G –––2–––––1–––––0–––––0–––––2––––
D –––2–––––3–––––2–––––2–––––0––––
A –––x–––––3–––––3–––––0––––––––––
E –––1–––––1–––––3––––––––––––––––
Fmaj7 Fm Cmaj7 Am7 Dm7
If you want some easier alternatives to these chords, try these out. Much more conventional, limited barre chords, etc. Specifically, the F and Fm chords require only a few strings. Also, the Dm7 is swapped out for a common D-minor chord. The song will still sound just fine if you use these.
E –––0–––––1–––––0–––––0–––––1––––
B –––1–––––1–––––0–––––1–––––3––––
G –––2–––––1–––––0–––––2–––––2––––
