Verse 1:
A D
I refuse to spend the rest of my days
A
Trying to get away from all the things

I did when I knew not what I’d done
A D
Oh so young and tired and luck was not an item
A
My bottle always refused to hear them tell me
E A
Not to stare into the sun
A D
This fornographic place told me a body was to be feared
A E
And then wanted at the same time friend if you figure how
A D
Fear because it was a pathway to a mortal sin
A
And then you want it
E A
‘Cause we’ll all be dust a few short years from now

E D
It’s a broken hearted world that we inherit

All we’re told to do is sit and bear it
A D A D – E
For a little while on the dark and dirty mile

It took a while at least for me to live enough ‘till I believed

Enjoy. I pretty sure he said he wrote this song Stoney. This is not on an album, so this is the best I could do with my video recording.
