[Intro]
D5(PlBbay the tab until verse, or keep playing the chords)
[Verse]
D5There's a shadow just behind me,
BbShrouding every step I take,
D5Making every promise empty,
BbPointing every finger at me.
D5Waiting like a stalking butler
BbWho upon the finger rests.
D5Murder now the path of "must we"
BbJust because the son has come.
[Chorus]
DJesus, won't you fucking whistle
Eb5Something but the past is done?
DJesus, won't you fucking whistle
Eb5Something but the past is done?
[Refrain]
DWhy can't we Eb5not be sober?
I Djust want to Eb5start this over.
DWhy can't we Eb5drink forever?
I Djust want to Eb5start this over.
D5 Bb
[Verse]
D5I am just a worthless liar.
BbI am just an imbecile.
D5I will only complicate you.
BbTrust in me and fall as well.
