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