[Verse 1]
Dm F
So, if you don't believe that man was made from mud
Dm F
I'm inclined to lean that way as well
Dm F
And if you think that we should drink each other's blood
Dm F
Slice me open, what the hell
[Verse 2]
Dm F
I get the goosebumps just remembering your name
Dm F
The shameless hope behind your eyes
Dm F
Insisting sincerely that the snow begets the spring
Dm F
Who needs wit when you are wise
[Chorus 1]
A# Am C
You can sleep in any bed you think is soft
A# Am C
I will save a place for you here at the trough
A# Am C
But if instead, you resolve to hook the hose to the exhaust
C
Admit you're beat... I will not think you weak
[Verse 3]
Dm F
Our car was buried in the last dug ditch
Dm F
Our broken family stood it's ground
Dm F
We poured down kisses on his pale blue lips
Dm F
Oaths were made and vengeance vowed
[Verse 4]
Dm F
I try to think of it as often as i should
Dm F
My hat in hand and furrowed brow
Dm F
But once you realize that you'll never save the world
Dm F
The next best bet is burn it down
[Chorus 2]
A# Am C
Stay away from whisky love, and stay away from men
A# Am C
You do those things and you may never get the chance
A# Am C
To drink pollution and to sit here on your hands
C
It ain't so bad, if you get happy when your sad
[Chorus 3]
A# Am C
Stay away from whisky and you stay away from mine
A# Am C
We're writing footnotes for a culture in decline
A#
And I don't know, if that don't, then
Am C C
Just what will change your mind and break that spell
N.C.
And we'll quietly rebel
N.C.
Come here, we'll quietly rebel
[Outro]
