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