[Verse 1]
G C G D7
The only truth I've found in life is that it sucks and then you die
G C G D7 G
I have lost all will to try - I think I'm giving up
G C G D7
The only way of making sense that I have at my dispense
G C G D7 G
Is the root, the fourth, and the fifth of whiskey that I suck
Em C Em G
A bag of weed and a shot of dope: the only comforts that I know
Em C G D7 G
And as my thoughts pass nice and slow, I can finally get some rest
G C G D7
But I hate the words I sing myself that are heard by no-one else
G C G D7 G
As I walk the empty halls of Hell, but at least they're off my chest
G
[Verse 2]
G C G D7
It scares me when the words don't come. I chew my nails down to the nubs
G C G D7 G
I am deaf and I am dumb, but I wish that I was blind
G C G D7
When it's only evil that I see: fear and negativity
G C G D7 G
Confirming all the awful thoughts that have been on my mind
[Verse 3]
Em C Em G
And home's become this awkward place that follows me from face to face
Em C G D7 G
And everyone's forgot my name. Oh, I wish that I could too.
G C G D7
But I've been cursed with needing more than degrees and homes I can't afford
G C G D7 G
Peace of mind and with the Lord who won't save me and you
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
G C G D7
So, I left home with a head full of lies, knowing less as time went by
G C G D7 G
But still, I'm never satisfied or sure of anything
G C G D7
And set my sights on this country that tried so hard to forget the past
G C G D7 G
And opened up my eyes at last to the land where freedom rings
Em C Em G
The banker's teets we suckle on, corporations, fucking pawns,
Em C G D7 G
And everything that has gone wrong in the country I love best
G C G D7
Work so damn hard to keep up hope; we'll find a different approach
G C G D7 G
And cast away the rotten yoke that hangs around our necks
[Instrumental Break]
