Capo: 2
Capo on 2nd Fret
AThe story is in the soil Loose leaves cover the ground There are volumes in the forest No one reads out loud
FmIf I could take them down Off of that mountain shelf
EWe used to climb but no one tries To go up that far now
AYeah, we're all too busy working Entertaining ourselves 40 hours, television And prescription pills
FmWell, I take two a day To make my brain behave
EIt never does, but who's to say? At least my doctor gets paid
ASo that is fine, yeah, come by We'll take the afternoon off We can kiss and undress Or if you want just talk
FmBecause I have got nothing real Just empty space to fill
EAnd you are my girl, I like your style Just imagine all the time we could kAill
DAnd time is not poiEson ABut once you drink it all, you'll Fmdie
ESo let's just sip it real slow, yeah We can nurse it all night Try to believe that once it's gone They will pour another round We will come back to lAife
*(Follow those chords throughout the song)* It's all moving fast now, yeah And that's what they say And though some days still take forever I can't disagree Because it seems to me That I wake up and sleep Look in the mirror and have no idea What happened in between But I remember counting days down Until the year could be done So I could scatter all my notebooks On the prep school lawn And disappear into a summer's bliss Of staying out and sleeping in And getting drunk with my friends And that's gone and I know That it won't ever come back I accept I won't cling to what I had in the past But life is a slippery slope Regret is the steepest hill Hope for the best Plan for the worst And maybe wind up somewhere in the middle And I'm not saying that I know what I want But I know what I don't Don't want to rot in my room And never know what could have been Believe what everyone else tells me is true They will say, "True" That is what they'll say That's it Believe what everyone else tells me is true They will say, "Ttrue" That is what they'll say That's it
