[Intro]

Am C F C F C

[Verse 1]

It's known

Alight and overgrown

Lines bowing forward from the shoulder

Worn and molded-over

Check throats are there to keep the moat

From trembling through sills

Am C

And your trench foot

F C F C

Looks like its bound to put you in the ground before your time

[Chorus]

Am C F C F C

I'm high and gone

I'm high and gone

Young drunks are swimming in their work

They think it'll be worth more

Lay prone and pedaling your word

It's next to nothing and you know

Your god is a sentimental one

If ever I had known one

And I'll be always up in arms

On that you can rely on
