G A D
It's the children that I feel for,
G A D
Yes the children make you feel more,
G A Bm
More that the liquor,
Em
More than the art,
G D
More that the Beach Boys records.
[Verse]
G A D
It's the drink that gives us heartache,
G A D
It's the charity we won't take,
G A Bm
We feel so empty,
Em
And our late twenties,
G D
Should be better times
[Chorus]
G
It's the love and the truth and hope and the faith.
D
That will destroy us in the end
G
It's the look in the eyes of those one nights stands
D
That gives us the will to pretend
G
It's the feeling of fucking, the people that we're loving,
D
That spurs us onto endless sleepless nights
Bm F#m G
And love Will destroy us in the end
[Verse]
G A D
There’s not a thing that I can save
G A D
From all those wasted, wasted days,
G A Bm
And there’s no faith
Em
That will ever save me
G D
From being faithful.
[Verse]
G A D
And the damn phone never rings,
G A D
And I would give up everything,
G A Bm
For a little wine,
Em
some conversation
G D
And just for being healthy.
[Chorus]
G
It's the love and the truth and hope and the faith.
D
That will destroy us in the end
G
It's the look in the eyes of those one nights stands
D
That gives us the will to pretend
G
It's the feeling of fucking, the people that we're loving,
D
That spurs us onto endless sleepless nights
Bm F#m G
And love Will destroy us in the end
