Key: E

Verse 1:
E                 A
Me and my friends
                        E
We don't encourage discipline
                     A
Or really much of anything
E                              A
We do our drugs 'til we're lit up



                            E
Tell ourselves that this is love
               A
But it's never added up
                      E     A
And it will never be enough
                  E     A   E
It will never be enough

Verse 2:
E
It's the same corner booth
                      A
The same Smith street bar
A
The same sour mouths
                   E
And the same empty arms
E
Forever and ever our lives
    A
On a loop
E
It's the same dollar draft
                 A
The same whiskey words
A
The same hanging heart
                 E
And the same old scorched earth
E
We're further and further
             A      B
Away from the truth


Chorus:
        C#m7    B
I wanna stop it
        C#m7  B
I wanna stop it
        C#m7    A
I wanna stop it
                                     E    A   E   A
But it's the only life I know how to live


Verse 3:
E
We make a mess of what matters
                     A
Give our good grace away
E
We try to drink the clock backwards
       A
And pretend like nothing's changed
E                                             A
But you think I'm a liar, and you think I'm a fake
                                               E
And I think you're a coward, but it's not what I say
                                       A         B
I call you my brother, and you call me the same


Chorus:
        C#m7    B
I wanna stop it
        C#m7  B
I wanna stop it
        C#m7    A
I wanna stop it
                                     E
But it's the only life I know how to live

Bridge:
        A
Let the smear words spill out of the sides of our mouth;
                              N.C.
Go be my ghost and I'll go be yours
N.C.                         E        A
But tonight brother, pour me one more
                           E         A
Oh tonight brother pour me one more
                               E        A
Yeah tonight I'll just cut you one more
                               E
Yeah tonight I'll just cut you one more
    A       E
One more, one more
