Great song from the new EP, Buttsweat and Tears. Simple like most of their songs.
Verse 1:
I got too drunk aCt your wedding and my vGoice got loud Am F
And I said Csome creepy things and I stagGgered around Am F
And even though yoCur best man had to kick me outG Am F
It was a prettyC good time either waGy C
Verse 2: (Use same chord progression as above)
It seems a fight broke out and an old man was yelling
Because no one was buying all the bullshit he was selling
He threw all his keepsakes on the ground and walked away
Cursing hard to bring back yesterday
Chorus: (Hard strum and stop on each chord)
And the ti - i C- Cime it aiGn'Gt gonna FstFop F F
Just because yoCu Cwalk away G G Am Am Am
And you can cry - y - yC fCor those tGhiGngs that you lost F F F F
But you ain't never goCnnCa bring back thosGe Gdays C
Verse 3: (Use same chord progression as other verses)
I hate the Mondays and the Fridays 'cause they always define
The endless march of pushing ruthlessly to the light
Well, if I'm gonna be damned then I'm gonna get high
And scream until I'm not feeling the pain
Verse 4: (Guitar hits C and holds out for the first two lines, and comes back in
the same pattern as above for the last two)
Let's burn a bridge for the fuck of it and kill this night
With some beers down at the pits, with whiskey lips, and we'll try
To love for the moment and forget for the night
That life doesn't usually feel great
Bridge:
Am G
FWhere we gonna go now that everything is shut downG? Am
FI can't go home, so where do you wGanna go now? C
F G (tempo slows)
Let's bring it back around to where everybody's singing about the
Chorus:
CTi - i - imeG it ain't gFonna stop
Just because Cyou walk away G Am
And you can cry-y-y forC those thGings that you lost F
But you ain't never gonCna bring back these dGays C
