Key: G
Introduction:
G
D G D
Driven to silence but I'm drowning in sin
G A
My mandolin hangs on the wall once again
D F#m
I can't seem to find the right words from within
G A D
But I won't be looking for long
There comes a time when nothing seems clear
Bm G A
I was a fool, I was stupid because
Bm G A
I was mistaking knowledge for just a good buzz
Bm G
Five years drunk on wine and words and wit
Em A
Served by cynics and charlatans, they were all full of shit
Bm G A
Empty cans of frustration and cans of regret
Bm G A
Line the living room floor that you've often swept
Bm G
Pop another one open and retch at the stench
Em A
It's a hard drink to swallow for a thirst you can't quench
D G D
But there'll, there'll come a time when it all seems clear
G A
When your passed out on the front porch with your head full of beer
D F#m
Confused and clouded by thoughts of you dear
G A D
But I won't be clouded for long
Now I'm driven to silence and I'm drowning in sin
