Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D][G]
[Em][Am]
[D]

[Verse 1]
The [G]story's
in the soil
Loose leaves cover the ground
There are volumes in the
forest no one reads out loud
If I [Em]could take them down,
off of that mountain shelf
We used [D]to climb but no one
tries to go up that far now

[Verse 2]
Yeah, we're [G]all too busy working
Entertaining ourselves
40 hours, television, and prescription pills
Well, I take [Em]two a day to
make my brain behave
It never [D]does, but who's to say?
At least my doctor gets paid

[Verse 3]
So that is [G]fine, yeah, come by
We'll take the afternoon off
We can kiss and undress
Or if you want, just talk
Because I have got [Em]nothing real
Just empty space to fill
And you're my [D]girl, I like your style
Just imagine all the time we could kill
[G]

[Verse 4]
[C]
And time's not [D]poison
But once [Bm]you drink it all, you'll [Em]die
So let's [D]just sip it real slow
Yeah, we can nurse it all night
Try to believe that once it's gone
They'll pour another round,
we'll come back to life
[G]Yeah, we'll come right back...

[Interlude 1]
[Em][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]It's all moving fast now, yeah
And that's what they say
And though some days still take forever
I can't disagree
[D]Because it see[Em]ms to me
That I wake up and sleep
Look in the mirror [D]and have no idea
What happene[G]d in-between
[D]But But I remem

[Verse 6]
[G]ber counting days down
Until the year could be done
So I could scatter all my notebooks
on the prep school lawn
And disap[Em]pear into
a summer's bliss
Of staying [D]out and sleeping in
And getting drunk with my friends

[Verse 7]
And that's [G]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 [Em]is a slippery slope
Regret the steepest hill
Hope for the be[D]st, plan for the worst
And maybe [G]wind [D]up somewhere
in the middle
[G]

[Verse 8]
[C]
And I'm not [D]saying that
[Bm]I know what I wa[Em]nt
But I [D]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...
[Em]

[Verse 9]
Yeah, what they'll [D]say; "True!"
That [Em]is what they'll say
That's [D]it
[Em]Believe what everyone
else tells me is true
They will say: [D]"True!"[Em]
That is what they'll [D]say

[Outro 1]
That's it...
