[Intro]
 
(Play the tab until verse, or keep playing the chords)

[Verse]

There's a shadow just behind me,

Shrouding every step I take,

Making every promise empty,

Pointing every finger at me.


Waiting like a stalking butler

Who upon the finger rests.

Murder now the path of "must we"

Just because the son has come.

[Chorus]

Jesus, won't you fucking whistle

Something but the past is done?

Jesus, won't you fucking whistle

Something but the past is done?

[Refrain]
            
Why can't we not be sober?
              
I just want to start this over.
            
Why can't we drink forever?
              
I just want to start this over.

 

[Verse]

I am just a worthless liar.

I am just an imbecile.

I will only complicate you.

Trust in me and fall as well.

I will find a center in you.

I will chew it up and leave,

I will work to elevate you

Just enough to bring you down.

[Chorus]

Mother Mary won't you whisper

Something but the past is done?

Mother Mary won't you whisper

Something but the past is done?

[Refrain]
            
Why can't we not be sober?
            
Just want to start this over.
            
Why can't we sleep forever?
              
I just want to start this over.

[Verse]

I am just a worthless liar.

I am just an imbecile.

I will only complicate you.

Trust in me and fall as well.

I will find a center in you.

I will chew it up and leave,

(Crescendo)

Trust me [3x]

Trust me [2x]

[Refrain]
            
Why can't we not be sober?
            
Just want to start things over.
            
Why can't we sleep forever?
              
I just want to start this over.

[Outro]

I want what I want 

I want what I want 

I want what I want 

I want what I want 

[Outro]
