[Intro]

[Verse]
Am
A pastor told me “Son...a man lives with what he’s done,
E7
But nothing’s ever quite as bad as it feels.
E7
If you’re gonna wait until your pockets start to spill
Am
Better go out there and learn to seal the deal
Am
I think Whitman said it right, you only live until you die
E7
So don’t make the worst of everything you see
E7
‘Cause vaults always open. Dirt is gone with soap and
Am
Streets were only paved to skin your knees.”
[Chorus]
Dm Am
He said “Don’t spend wooden nickels shut the tap if it trickles
E E7
You gotta lose before you win, Forgiveness needs a sin
Dm Am
The devil takes your soul, but turns your doubt into gold dust
E7
You are the only man you’ll ever be
[Bridge]
Am E7
E7 Am
[Verse]
Am
Promises will lie, but tears will always dry
E7
Your gut's the only truth you’ll ever need
E7
You’ll sound so damn smart, when you listen to your heart
Am
The answers pump around until you bleed”
[Chorus]
Dm Am
He said “Don’t spend wooden nickels shut the tap if it trickles
E E7
You gotta lose before you win, Forgiveness needs a sin
Dm Am
The devil takes your soul, but turns your doubt into gold dust
E7
You are the only man you’ll ever be
[Bridge]
