[Intro] (x2)
C Dm F F
[Verse 1]
C Dm F C
Can't help but piss all my youth down the well
C Dm G
And wave my hand watching it go
C Dm
If you gotta hold onto something
F C
You better hold onto yourself
C Dm G
Your whole life is just space between holes
[Chorus]
F C F C
I'd be through, oh I'd be through
C Dm G D Dm F7add6 F7+ F7
Oh I don't know what I would do
C
If I couldn't have you
[Verse 2]
C Dm F C
Stains on my polyester coat, stains on my mind
C Dm G
Stains on airplane lavatory doors
C Dm F C
Shaking hands with sycophantic cunts mile after mile
C Dm G
And piling up all the money that never shows
[Chorus]
F C F C
I'd be through, oh I'd be through
C Dm G D Dm F7add6 F7+ F7
Oh I don't know what I would do
C
If I couldn't have you
[Bridge]
C Dm F C
I could never let you go
C Dm F C
My life seems to be all confusion and woe
C Dm F C
I could have never just let you go
C Dm F C
If I couldn't have you baby I would just let it flow
[Chorus]
F C F C
I'd be through, oh I'd be through
C Dm G D Dm F7add6 F7+ F7
Oh I don't know what I would do
C
If I couldn't have you
