[Verse]
AmA pastor told me “Son...a man lives with what he’s done,
But nothing’s ever quite as bad as it E7feels.
If you’re E7gonna wait until your pockets start to spill
Better go out there and learn to seal the Amdeal
I think AmWhitman said it right, you only live until you die
So don’t make the worst of everything you E7see
‘Cause E7vaults always open. Dirt is gone with soap and
Streets were only paved to skin your Amknees.”
[Chorus]
He said “DmDon’t spend wooden nickels shut the Amtap if it trickles
You gotta Elose before you win, E7Forgiveness needs a sin
The Dmdevil takes your soul, but turns your Amdoubt into gold dust
You E7are the only man you’ll ever be
[Bridge]
Am  E7

[Verse]
AmPromises will lie, but tears will always dry
Your gut's the only truth you’ll ever E7need
You’ll E7sound so damn smart, when you listen to your heart
The answers pump around until you Ambleed”
[Chorus]
He said “DmDon’t spend wooden nickels shut the Amtap if it trickles
You gotta Elose before you win, E7Forgiveness needs a sin
The Dmdevil takes your soul, but turns your Amdoubt into gold dust
You E7are the only man you’ll ever be

[Intro]

[Verse]

A pastor told me “Son...a man lives with what he’s done,

But nothing’s ever quite as bad as it feels.

If you’re gonna wait until your pockets start to spill

Better go out there and learn to seal the deal

I think Whitman said it right, you only live until you die

So don’t make the worst of everything you see

‘Cause vaults always open. Dirt is gone with soap and

Streets were only paved to skin your knees.”

[Chorus]

Dm Am

He said “Don’t spend wooden nickels shut the tap if it trickles

E E7

You gotta lose before you win, Forgiveness needs a sin

Dm Am

The devil takes your soul, but turns your doubt into gold dust

You are the only man you’ll ever be

[Bridge]

Am E7

E7 Am

[Verse]

Promises will lie, but tears will always dry

Your gut's the only truth you’ll ever need

The answers pump around until you bleed”

[Chorus]

Dm Am

He said “Don’t spend wooden nickels shut the tap if it trickles

E E7

You gotta lose before you win, Forgiveness needs a sin

Dm Am

The devil takes your soul, but turns your doubt into gold dust

You are the only man you’ll ever be
