[Intro]
 
Em C (x7)
Em C D
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Em
There's a shadow just behind me,
C
shrouding every step I take,
Em
making every promise empty,
C
pointing every finger at me.
 
Em
Waiting like a stalking butler
C
who upon the finger rests.
Em
Murder now the path and must we
C
just because the son has come.
 
Em
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
F
something but the past and done?
Em
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
F
something but the past and done?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em
Why can't we not be sober?
F
I just want to start things over.
Em
Why can't we drink forever.
F
I just want to start this over.

[Verse 2]
 
Em
I am just a worthless liar.
C
I am just an imbecile.
Em
I will only complicate you.
C
Trust in me and fall as well.
 
Em
I will find a center in you.
C
I will chew it up and leave,
Em
I will work to elevate you
C
just enough to bring you down.
 
Em
Mother Mary won't you whisper
C
something but what's past and done.
Em
Mother Mary won't you whisper
C
something but what's past and done.
 
 
[Chorus]

Why can't we not be sober?

I just want to start things over.
