[D] [G] [D]
[G]
[D] [G]
[D] [G] [D]
The waitress keeps making [G] it weird I [D] wish you wouldn't call me [G] big brother
Seems [Bm] like the faith we obtain [A] is a function of how [G] much we suffer
[D]
[Bm] Put the cash on the bed, they [Em] put a gas in my head
[Bm] The whole thing didn't take [G] very long [D] And I was hoping that [A] Galveston
Would be more [G] like a song
[D] I [A]
[G] met [D]
some sailors out in Texas [G] City They [D] were tying off [G] the ropes
They [Bm] said they were supposed to be in Corpus [A] Christi
But they fell off [G] the boat [A] They [Bm] said that Jesus is love
And [Em] he's the jury and judge [Bm] He'll hurt your heart with [G] a smoke
I [D] said the God you promote seems [A] a lot like the devil [G] I love
[D]
[G] Don't [A]
[D] pull your money [G] out until you're super sure
[D] That the very last second [A] you know you're going through
Is [Bm] at the very last second, [G] still the slightest possibility
Sophistication [D] is a lack of growth ability
Don't bring a gun [G] unless you think you're up for shooting
But [D] at the very last second [A] you know you're going through
[Bm] Is what depressive [C] tendencies, the problem with anxiety
[G] The medication [D] and the mental [C] facility
Yeah, I guess [Em] there was science
[C] [Em] Yeah, I'm [G] sure there was science
I [A]
[D] finally made it down to [G] McAllen [D] I asked around the station [G] for you
[Bm] There were people that heard [A] There was no [G] one that knew
[A] [Bm] Well, I got on the bus It [Em] was pretty much dusk
Sat and [Bm] watched the daylight [G] diffuse
[D] The amount that we waste seems much more than the things [G] we can't use
And now the waitress [D] keeps making it weird
I wish she wouldn't call me big brother
Seems like the faith we attain
[F] Is a function of how much [G] we suffer
Seems like the faith we attain
Is a [D] function of how much [G] we suffer
Seems like the faith we attain
Is a function of [Dm] how much [G] we suffer
