Am C G Dm F Em
[Verso 1]
Am
I cut my teeth on a piece of bitter, low-hanging fruit
C
The loudest one in the room always got something to prove
G Dm F Em
Suckers to cynics, sycophants they don't wanna choose
Am
You'll never see me at my worst, hit me where it hurts
C G
First things first, you'd better swallow all your hurt, oh lord
Dm F Em
Another lesson learned
Am
I got a cocaine kiss and a cherry Silverado
C G
Linger in the stench, worn-out bravado no
Dm F Em
We're digging up old bones
Am
Well, we stayed fucked up till the sun came up
C
Just to catch a glimpse of the morning rush
G Dm
I know it's rough, but it gets the job done

I'll take it easy on you now
[Refrão]

Teach me how to love, teach me how to cry like a man
[Verso 2]
Am
Well, you suffer in silence, you'd better keep quiet
C
Turn a blind eye, keep 'em both dry
G
Time to let it go
Dm F Em
Let your sleeping dogs lie
Am
All these poison and pills are going straight to my head
C
It's time to separate the quick from the dead
G Dm F Em
You get what you get till you give till there's nothing left
Am
Well, it's hard to be hunted, I can feel it coming
C G
Hit the ground running, here they're coming one by one

We had our time in the sun

I'll make it easy on you now

C
Maybe this dog's lost its fight
G
Maybe I'm just terrified
Dm Am
Of what I'll never find
C
So tell me when it's time
G
Try to keep in mind
Dm
I see no end in sight
[Refrão]
