Lyrics:
Make me sanguine
Help me genuinely
Kill the doubt that strangles myself worth
Paint the picture that I swore I heard
Spiritless and mean
Ghost that comes between
I will keep my wits about myself
Disregard directions sent from hell
When it brings the gleam
Longer lasting than me
Oh my love but we are bound to die
My heart is broke but you won't hear me cry
Oh my love but we are bound to die
My heart is broke but you won't see me
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: EADGBE CAPO 2
Tabbed By: Mickel_S
Verse 1:
C Am F G Am C
When I drink, I say things I don't wanna say
F G C C/B Am
I do things i don't wanna do
F G
I talk mean to you.
C Am F G Am C
But if I think, I just might get something out of this
F G C C/B Am
My parents taught me to learn when i miss
F G
Just do your best.
Am C
Just do your best.
Chorus:
Em Dm
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Am G
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
F G
at least a little better than I've been so far.
Verse 2:
C Am F G Am C
But when I drink, I hear things that aren't really there
F G C C/B Am
I feel things when i shouldn't really care
F G
Have fist fights with the air.
C Am F G Am C
But if I think, about someone besides myself
F G C C/B Am
I lived through the silver and the bell
F G
With something to tell
Am C
Just do your best
Chorus:
Em Dm
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Am G
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
F G
at least a little better than I've been so far.
Verse 3:
C Am F G Am C
But when I drink, I spend the next morning in a haze
F G C C/B Am
But we only get so many days
F G
Now I have one less
Am C
Just do your best.
Chorus:
Em Dm
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Am G
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
F G
at least a little better than I've been so far.
F G C
Oh, at least a little better than I've been so far.

3. Yard Sale
Tuning: EADGBE CAPO 1
Tabbed By: Unregistered (thanks for your help!)
C F
I wonder if this blade ran through someone's side
Dm FaddG
The blood wiped away to hide
F FaddG F FaddG F
How evil you grandfather was 'fore he died
C F C
But war can make monsters out of us all
Dm FaddG F
I'm sure I'd become one if I was called
C Dm G
And then it would be my blade
Fmaj7 C
Here at this yard sale
The guitar I am holding is way out of tune
The neck it is warped and the saddle is through
I wonder if sweet music ever was played
From the hands of a boy to a girl in the shade
From this rickety ghost of a song
Here at this yardsale
A dollar for anything here on this quilt
A price tag for hands from which all things are built
A blanket of voices speak pleasure in shame
Flowers of plastic and fruit of the same
A basket of nothing at all
Here at this yardsale
So if I had the money I'd buy everything
And cover the whole lot with good gasoline
And burn it for all that I care for the past
And rid mother earth of what never should last
And give her the present of ash
Made of a yard sale

The older the man yeah the stronger the stone
Am G F C

C G C
Am I growing backwards with time
C F C G
Some say with age that our purpose comes clear
C F C G
I see the opposite happening here
Am G F C
Are we losing the fight
C G C
Are we growing backwards with time
Am G F C
I was young and love was fun
C G C
Now its so serious
Am G F C
Now all my fun has equal pain
C G C
Theres something wrong with this
Am G F C
For all I know theres more I don’t

For every year of knowledge gained

6. Find My Love
Tuning: EADGBE CAPO 1
Tabbed By: Macheeoo
C G
What makes it easy to treat people bad?
Am C
Some things you say and you can't take 'em back
F C
What makes it easy to run from the past,
G
like a child runs from the dark?
C G
Which is the poison and which is the wine?
Am C
The scent and the colors are so much alike
F C
And how much of each will it take to decide,
G
when your at the table alone?
C C
Where do you go when it's perfectly clear?
Am C
You might find your way but you won't find it here
F C
What makes it easy to sound so sincere,
G
when you know that you don't care?
C Am F
C Am F G
C Am F
Love gets lost
C Am F G
Love gets lost
C Am Em
Find my love
C Am Em F G
Find my love
C G
How can you tell when goodbye means goodbye
Am C
Not just for now, for the rest of you life
F C
How can you stand there with love in you eyes
G
And still be walking away
C Am F
Love gets lost
C Am F G
Love gets lost
C Am Em
Find my love
C Am Em F G
Find my love
C Am Em
Find my love
C Am Em F G C Am Em
Find my love
