Chords

As recorded by Kevin Devine (From the 2006 Album PUT YOUR GHOST TO REST) [Verse 1]
E                 A
Me and my friends

                        E
We don't encourage discipline

                     A
Or really much of anything

E                              A
We do our drugs 'til we're lit up

                            E
Tell ourselves that this is love

               A
But it's never added up

                      E     A
And it will never be enough

                  E     A   E
It will never be enough
[Verse 2]
E
It's the same corner booth

                      A
The same Smith street bar

A
The same sour mouths

                   E
And the same empty arms

E
Forever and ever our lives

    A
On a loop

E
It's the same dollar draft

                 A
The same whiskey words

A
The same hanging heart

                 E
And the same old scorched earth

E
We're further and further

             A      B   
Away from the truth
[Chorus]
        C#m7    B
I wanna stop it

        C#m7  B
I wanna stop it

        C#m7    A
I wanna stop it

                                     E    A   E   A   
But it's the only life I know how to live
[Verse 3]
E
We make a mess of what matters

                     A
Give our good grace away

E
We try to drink the clock backwards

       A
And pretend like nothing's changed

E                                             A
But you think I'm a liar, and you think I'm a fake

                                               E
And I think you're a coward, but it's not what I say

                                       A         B
I call you my brother, and you call me the same
[Chorus]
        C#m7    B
I wanna stop it

        C#m7  B
I wanna stop it

        C#m7    A
I wanna stop it

                                     E       
But it's the only life I know how to live
[Interlude] E C#m7 G#m Amaj7 B E N.C. E C#m A B E B [Chorus]
        C#m7    B
I wanna stop it

        C#m7  B
I wanna stop it

        C#m7    
I wanna stop it
[Bridge]
        A
Let the smear words spill out of the sides of our mouth;
N.C. Go be my ghost and I'll go be yours
N.C.                         E        A
But tonight brother, pour me one more

                           E         A
Oh tonight brother pour me one more

                               E        A
Yeah tonight I'll just cut you one more

                               E
Yeah tonight I'll just cut you one more

    A       E
One more, one more
[Outro] A E A E A E A E
