[Verse 1]
G
Let us raise this glass of wine
G
For your blood burns just like mine
C G
And we neither felt too much going home
G
You know I never really had the mind
G
For an ordinary life
D C
But I guess I’m going to give it a try
G
So here goes
[Verse 2]
G
And I know we both had enough
G
Drinking from this broken cup
C G
That we neither feel too much more like sherry
D C
But again, boys, to your feet
G C
One last time on Benefit Street
G D G
Set aside these worried lives you’ve been bearing
[Pre-chorus]
C G
Though the years have been unkind
C G
Like a winter clementine
C G D
We can only come of age in the cold
G D
Now, what small comfort we might take
G C
That we’ve both been born too brave
G D G
Leaves us humbled, keeps us honest; we’re bold
[Chorus]
Em D G
And we laugh, and we sing, and we dance of the dance of the wise men
Em D G
And alone in the dark, we don’t know what their secrets weave
Em D G C
And I promise, I know that the poison will surely pass through you
G D G
If you scrub, and you wash, then eventually you will come clean
[Interlude]
