[Verse]
D5
There's a shadow just behind me,
Bb
Shrouding every step I take,
D5
Making every promise empty,
Bb
Pointing every finger at me.
D5
Waiting like a stalking butler
Bb
Who upon the finger rests.
D5
Murder now the path of "must we"
Bb
Just because the son has come.

D
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Eb5
Something but the past is done?
D
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Eb5
Something but the past is done?
[Refrain]
D Eb5
Why can't we not be sober?
D Eb5
I just want to start this over.

Why can't we drink forever?

I just want to start this over.

[Verse]
