Can't Stand The Mourning

Intro: Dm7 



[Verso 1]
 
        Dm7                               F 
I know death and taxes, they can't be outrun 
          C                                    Dm7 
I thought I'd have more time before the race begun 
         Dm7                                   F 
Lost my father at twenty, and I lost you last week 
 C                                    Dm7 
How can I cope? I still haven't found me 
            Dm7                                F 
I've tried different religions and psychic hotlines 
         C                                    Dm7 
Must be some way to hear your laugh one more time 
      Dm7                               F 
So I self-medicate to stay comfortably numb 
         C                                  Dm7 
Knowing sooner or later, yeah, my day will come

       Bb7M                       F 
I need chemicals to sleep to see you in my dreams 
   C                    Dm7 
If I take enough, maybe one day we'll speak 
       Bb7M                         F 
Oh, when I wake back up, you won't be there to talk 
        C                      Dm7 
These photos and voicemails of you aren't enough 
        Bb7M     F 
Let me close my eyes 
          C               Dm7 
'Cause I can't stand the mourning 
        Bbm7     F 
Let me close my eyes 
          C               Dm7 
'Cause I can't stand the mourning 
 


[Verso 2]
 
         Dm                                     F 
All my friends and my therapist tell me stay strong 
       C                                          Dm7 
But I haven't hit the gym in well, God knows how long 
         Dm                                        F 
All my smiles and my tattoos, they're doing their part 
             C                               Dm7 
They're all putting in overtime to cover my scars 
          Dm                                      F 
Can't pretend that it's still the best day of my life 
        C                                     Dm7 
When I tell you the truth, you say it's all a lie 
         Dm                                     F 
So I'll pour one out and pour my heart into a drink 
            C                                       Dsus2 
'Cause I'd rather pay for whiskey than a mid-level shrink
