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

Verse 2
Yeah, we're (G major) all too busy working
Entertaining ourselves
40 hours, television, and prescription pills
Well, I take (E minor) two a day to
make my brain behave
It never does, (D major) but who's to say?
At least my doctor gets paid
Verse 3
So that is fine, (G major) yeah, come by
We'll take the afternoon off
We can kiss and undress
Or if you want, just talk
Because I have got (E minor) nothing real
Just empty space to fill
And you're my girl, (D major) I like your style
Just imagine all the time we could kill
(G major)
Verse 4
(C major)
And time's not poison (D major)
But once you drink (B minor) it all, you'll die (E minor)
So let's just sip (D major) 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 major) Yeah, we'll come right back...
Interlude 1
(E minor) (D major)
Verse 5
(G major) 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 major) Because it (E minor) seems to me
That I wake up and sleep
Look in the mirror (D major) and have no idea
What happene (G major) d in-between
(D major) But But I remem
Verse 6
(G major) ber counting days down
Until the year could be done
So I could scatter all my notebooks
on the prep school lawn
And disap (E minor) pear into
a summer's bliss
Of staying out (D major) and sleeping in
And getting drunk with my friends
Verse 7
And that's gone (G major) 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 is a slippery (E minor) slope
Regret the steepest hill
Hope for the best, (D major) plan for the worst
And maybe (G major) wind up somewhere (D major)
in the middle
(G major)
Verse 8
(C major)
And I'm not saying (D major) that
(B minor) I know what I want (E minor)
But I (D major) 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...
(E minor)
Verse 9
Yeah, what they'll (D major) say; "True!"
That is (E minor) what they'll say
That's (D major) it
Believe (E minor) what everyone
else tells me is true
They will say: (D major) "True!" (E minor)
That is what they'll say (D major)
Outro 1
