Capo 2:
Verse 1:
I [A]refuse to spend the rest of
my da[D]ys trying to get away
from [A]all the things I did
when I knew [E]not what I had done
Oh so [A]young and tired of love
was not an item my[D] own
bottle always ref[A]used to hear them tell me
not to sta[E]re into the sun
[A]This pornographic place told me
a bo[D]dy was to be feared and then [A]wanted at the same
time man, if you [E]could figure how.
[A]Fear because it was the pathway
t[D]o a mortal sin and then wanted [A]because we'll all be dust a
[E]few short years from [A]now.
Chorus:
[E]It's a broken hearted world that we i[D]nherit
[E]All we're told is to do sit a[D]nd bear it
[A]For a little while,
[D]On this dark and dirty [A]mile.
V2
[A]Took awhile at least for me
to live[D] enough 'till I believed in
no[A]ne of what I heard and less than
[E]half of what I saw
[A]Mark the days have come and gone
some are[D] lost and some are wrong
and [A]way back home we'll figure out
a p[E]lace to place it all
Chorus:
[E]It's a broken hearted world that we i[D]nherit
[E]All we're told is to do sit a[D]nd bear it
[A]For a little while,
[D]On this dark and dirty mile[A]
[D]We're all family here on tr[A]ial
[D]On this dark and dirty m[A]ile [D]
Instrumental with verse A, D, finishing D, E, A
V3
[A]Finally I realized that
[D]knowledge better make you wise
and [A]all the knots you tied
will [E]leave you in a ball.
[A]Helpless as when we were born
th[D]read barren and holy worn
out [A]shivering as summer
gives way [E]to early fall
Chorus:
[E]It's a broken hearted world that we i[D]nherit
[E]All we're told is to do sit a[D]nd bear it
[A]For a little while,
[D]On this dark and dirty mile[A]
[D]We're all family here on tr[A]ial
