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