[Verse]

Dm Bb

Short cut to a quick buck is working all the time

Renting out your mind

And saving every dime

Because when ten of those combine

They cross a sacred line

And go from pocket change

Bb C

To a gold mine

Dm Bb

She said she'd be down to hangout

With her parents out of town she was hoping I'm around

For a party at her vacant place

Bb G

I said I'd come; showed up and felt out of place

So I headed home

G Bb

That's when she text my phone and ask me where

G Bb

I was and when I said I was gone

She broke my spine

And in that pain

G Bb

I realized that every dime I'd ever saved wasn't worth anything

[Pre-Chorus]

Dm Am

What's the drive in being alive when you don't know who you are?

C G

What's the fun in getting drunk if you can't take it too far

Dm Am

Yeah my friends are saying I've been wasting all my weekends contemplating

If it's me or the booze that really gets wasted

I don't even taste it

When I'm throwing back shots as if its a race then

Quickly chase them

[Chorus]

Dm Am G

Without a mouth I'm so down

F Dm Am G

But just when I

[Verse]

Thinkin'

I'm gettin' away by hitting the road

Dm C

Somehow she make it to all of my shows now where can I go

D Bb

Girl it's a simple matter

Dm C Bb

Put your painted finger on my tongue

So I can taste the lacquer

Dm C G

And relive each door that you have touched

And then she split my lips

And for three whole days

I tried to speak but everyone agreed

They couldn't hear a word I'd say

[Pre-Chorus]

Dm Am

What's the drive in being alive when you don't know who you are?

C G

What's the fun in getting drunk if you can't take it too far

I'm singing oh I don't know

Take me anywhere but home

[Chorus]

Dm Am G

Without a mouth I'm so down

F Dm Am G

But my hometown only makes me feel alone

F Dm Am G

Then just when I I I I think I'm in the clear she hook her hair behind her ears and says I'm

Going down

F Dm Am Bb C

She said baby it's okay to feel the way you do if you keep it to yourself

[Bridge]
