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

Verse 2
G
Yeah, we're all too busy working
Entertaining ourselves
40 hours, television, and prescription pills
Em
Well, I take two a day to
make my brain behave
D
It never does, but who's to say?
At least my doctor gets paid
Verse 3
G
So that is fine, yeah, come by
We'll take the afternoon off
We can kiss and undress
Or if you want, just talk
Em
Because I have got nothing real
Just empty space to fill
D
And you're my girl, I like your style
Just imagine all the time we could kill
G
Verse 4
C
D
And time's not poison
Bm
Em
But once you drink it all, you'll die
D
So let's 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...

That I wake up and sleep
D
Look in the mirror and have no idea
G
What happened 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
Em
And disappear into
a summer's bliss
D
Of staying out and sleeping in
And getting drunk with my friends
Verse 7
G
And that's gone and I know
That it won't ever come back
I accept, I won't cling to
what I had in the past
Em
But life is a slippery slope
Regret the steepest hill
D
Hope for the best, plan for the worst
G
D
And maybe wind up somewhere
in the middle
G
Verse 8
C
D
And I'm not saying that
Bm
Em
I know what I want
D
But I 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
D
Yeah, what they'll say; "True!"
Em
That is what they'll say
D
That's it
Em
Believe what everyone
else tells me is true
D
Em
They will say: "True!"
D
That is what they'll say
