Chords with lyrics

First tab so take it easy on me


Capo 2:
Verse 1:
 A augmentedA
I refuse to spend the rest of
   D MajorD
my days trying to get away
   A augmentedA
from all the things I did
      E MajorE
when I knew not what I had done

   A augmentedA
Oh so young and tired of love
         D MajorD
was not an item my own
         A augmentedA
bottle always refused to hear them tell me
     E MajorE
not to stare into the sun

A augmentedA
This pornographic place told me
  D MajorD              A augmentedA
a body was to be feared and then wanted at the same
         E MajorE
time man, if you could figure how.

A augmentedA
Fear because it was the pathway
 D MajorD               A augmentedA
to a mortal sin and then wanted because we'll all be dust a
E MajorE          A augmentedA
few short years from now.

Chorus:
E MajorE                  D MajorD
It's a broken hearted world that we inherit
E MajorE              D MajorD
All we're told is to do sit and bear it
A augmentedA
For a little while,
D MajorD           A augmentedA
On this dark and dirty mile.

V2

A augmentedA
Took awhile at least for me
    D MajorD
to live enough 'till I believed in
 A augmentedA
none of what I heard and less than
E MajorE
half of what I saw
A augmentedA
Mark the days have come and gone
    D MajorD
some are lost and some are wrong
  A augmentedA
and way back home we'll figure out
  E MajorE
a place to place it all

Chorus:
E MajorE                  D MajorD
It's a broken hearted world that we inherit
E MajorE              D MajorD
All we're told is to do sit and bear it
A augmentedA
For a little while,
D MajorD             A augmentedA
On this dark and dirty mile
D MajorD             A augmentedA
We're all family here on trial
D MajorD            A augmentedA   D MajorD
On this dark and dirty mile

A augmentedA
Finally I realized that
D MajorD
knowledge better make you wise
  A augmentedA
and all the knots you tied
   E MajorE
will leave you in a ball.
A augmentedA
Helpless as when we were born
 D MajorD
thread barren and holy worn
  A augmentedA
out shivering as summer
     E MajorE
gives way to early fall
